Or third world countries in general. As sexy as made in home country sounds, modern day manufacturing is truly deadly.

Look at the chemical exposure Samsung treats their workers to. It happened in south Korea, but that's an other country, so it didn't matter. But it also happened in Canada, now it's news.

But is it better if my lifestyle kills foreigners instead of fellow citizens?

yups. Not to mention the amount of environmental damage such things do. For instance, all the rare earth metals have huge open air mines with of all kinds of acid & arsenic poisoning which is used during leeching & refining process
