Most hardware comes from oriental countries nowadays. That's half the reason why you see a lot of orientals in the computer business. It also helps that they have a metal capacity for that sort of thing.

Course, the real reason is economics. It's cheaper to produce hardware in places such as Taiwan, than it is in the UK or US.

On the programming side, a majority of the programmers are Indian (from India, not North America).
