While promoting itself as a "Made in America" company, many of Motorola's parts manufacturing jobs have been farmed out to Malaysia (cheap muslim labor) for years.

A radio might say "Assembled in USA" on the label, but open it up to find all the boards were stuffed with components in Malaysia. All they did in a USA plant was stuff the Malaysian-made boards into the Malaysian-made plastic case and stick the radio in a box.

And government sales is probably their leading customer and many cities, counties and states give them "preference" for being a "Made in the USA" company.
