So I imagine that, like me, a lot of Hacker News users can think of a couple of Chinese brands.
As for companies with more mainstream recognition, Foxconn, though it's for less than cheerful reasons.
Edit: although their largest factory [1] is in Shenzhen, China, Foxconn is actually a Taiwanese company.
[1] The (in)famous "Foxconn City" that makes most iStuff, employs over 200000 people and has its own TV station.
I have a barebones PC that's branded Foxconn.
Over the years I have used several Foxconn motherboards. They were clearly branded "Foxconn" on the packaging and the boards themselves. Apparently you can still buy one today [1]. They also sell computer cases, fans and suchlike under their own brand.

Foxconn could theoretically use the same strategy and as an example, be associated with high quality iPhone manufacturing that doesn't negatively impact their employees.
That would make them a brand, the fact that they haven't taken this strategy does not eliminate them from the discussion.
