Its main Western rivals like Samsung?
South Korea, like Japan, are a part of the West, having far more and n common with the US than any SEA country or other eastern countries.
Yeah, Samsung is located in the occupied Korea which is part of the empire last I checked.
occupied Korea?
Yes, it's literally occupied by the US military.

So anything west of China and Russia is "the west?" I suppose Japan and Australia are "the west" too since you can get there if you travel west long enough?
No, anything that's a vassal state of the US is the west. And yes, Japan and Australia are understood to be part of the western bloc. This isn't even controversial.
Is "the west" in the room with you right now? Blink twice if so.
