You could look to what have been done on drones, since that was the first of these IIRC. Based on no inside info - making a total guess at the future - I could imagine that the covered list will continue to expand to other network, server, and application technologies.

assembled.  I have a Ubiquiti Edgerouter which as far as I know is
designed in the US, and runs software written in the US, but it's
assembled in China so it's lucky I already have one.

Even in a case of h/w design or s/w dev seemingly done inside the US, that may in reality just be led by US staff; it may involve staff in other countries (i.e., India, Vietnam, Taiwan, EU).
