Malaysia and Thailand have had their fair share of influence on that as well. Just look at the chips in your computer to see where they were made.

Sorry, but no. Malaysia and Thailand offer cheap manufacturing facilities, nothing more. Even if you had said Korea and Taiwan, which are far more significant players, you would still be far off the mark.

So, the Korean War didn't happen in your world? How about Vietnam? The Indochina Wars? Sino-Vietnamese War? Laos? Cambodia?

Cheap manufacturing facilities are not significant in how the modern IT industry was created?

Cheap manufacturing significant-yes

The cheap manufacturing existing in Malaysia and Thailand-no

The chips could just as easily read, "Made in a cheap manufacturing place".
