For that matter, South Korean electronics are massive too. Samsung, LG, SK Hynix. Not just phones but laptops, refrigerators, chips, air conditioners, etc.

Japan of course has many name brand consumer and engineering product companies.

Taiwan has TSMC and Foxconn which while two of the most important companies in the world aren't well known outside of tech because they dont sell directly and don't do branding (like Intel for example).
