TSMC: Taiwan Semiconductor — silicon shield thesis.
ROCAF: Republic of China Air Force — asymmetric denial.
Hsiung Feng: Taiwanese anti-ship cruise missile family.
Silicon shield: Global chip dependency deters invasion.
Chokepoint: Narrow sea or land passage where trade or military traffic can be blocked.
Rare earth: Elements used in magnets, motors, and precision weapons — China dominates refining.
SPR: Strategic Petroleum Reserve — emergency crude stockpile.
TSMC: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing — advanced logic fab cluster.
Hormuz: Strait of Hormuz — ~20% of global oil transits.
Malacca: Strait of Malacca — busiest shipping lane between Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Suwałki corridor: Poland–Lithuania land bridge — NATO logistics vulnerability.
Cobalt belt: DRC–Zambia mining corridor — battery supply chain.
Lithium triangle: Chile–Argentina–Bolivia brine deposits — EV battery input.
Grain corridor: Black Sea / Danube export routes — global food security.
Red Sea corridor: Bab el-Mandeb through Suez — Houthi interdiction risk.
Taiwan Strait lane: Kaohsiung–Busan chip & container sea lane under blockade exercise.
Black Sea grain lane: Odesa/Danube export routes under missile and mine threat.
Horn access lane: Djibouti–Massawa–Assab Red Sea port competition axis.
