At the risk of stating the obvious, Taiwan is not Chinese-controlled territory.

Still in Asia, but I know at least some Samsung devices are made in Korea.

OP might have consulted a Chinese issued map :)

Supposedly, about a third of Samsung phones are produced in Vietnam https://e27.co/1-3-samsung-phones-made-vietnam-20150513/.

Some googling shows me that Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan and India have significant share of smartphones produced (one example https://www.androidauthority.com/where-smartphones-are-made-...).

Of course Taiwan is Chinese controlled — it's the Republic of China. It's just not controlled by the People's Republic of China or the Communist Party of China.
