Thomas,
<<My feeling was rather that consumer goods were a major force in U.S exports to SEA: Marlboro, Nike, Coke, Pampers, Kodak, 3M, you name it. Guess I was just wrong with that.>>
Out of the 6 brands you mention 5 are manufactured here in Asia. For all I know Pampers are also. In addition disk drives, computers, most clothing, Nabisco Oreo cookies (to which I am addicted, they are made in Indonesia) Keebler, Pepsi, and even the venerable Famous Amos Cookies and on and on. (BTW, know what country has the largest per capita consumption of cookies? Singapore, by a long way).
Best,
Stitch

Further to my previous response on the above I have just learned that indeed, Pampers (TM) are also made here. P&G has a rather large plant for them and other products right here in Kuala Lumpur.
Now, I wonder if they also make Depends (TM).

Best,
Stitch
