How do proponents of open source philosophies (software, democracy, etc.), often boosters for cheap massively-adopted technology (aka. linux-everything devices), rationalize the obvious conflict with China’s dominant role in production of these devices?

I’m not picking on them, as I love open source software. But it seems like a disconnect in the fundamental philosophy used to promote the open source philosophy, or bang on Google/Yahoo for their dealing with China.

Can a piece of technology be certified China-free? My latest phone claims to Made in the Netherlands, or was it just assembled there?

Just a thought. But it seems an important one.
