Comment on "Made in China" products accounted for only 2.7 percent of consumer spending

Comments

Why aren't consumer electronics products in there? It seems to me they are only picking those with a high chance of being made in America.

Also, does this "made in America" refer to the whole product or just the packaging/assembly, while the components are still made in China?

It isn't labeled in the chart, but the text of the article notes that electronics fall into the durable goods category along with cars, furniture, etc... So they are including all imports, not cherry picking.

In regards to your second question, check out figure 2 way at the bottom of the article where they have a breakdown of made in us with us parts vs. made in us without us parts, etc.
