Haim, the Taiwan Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, and Chinese Yuan are all pegged to the USD (Taiwan Dollar is a range-peg set and manipulated by the government). These are huge trading partners (mostly exporting to the US) so the effect of a USD devaluation with respect to them is limited. China is a big part of the equation now, as more and more Japanese, Korean, Singapore, and other production moves there. Your keyboard, mouse, and possibly your monitor were made in China. They are doing lots of motherboards, power supplies, computer cases, and many other computer commodity components.
