What it is

Taiwan produces the overwhelming majority of the world's leading-edge (<=5nm/3nm/2nm) logic via TSMC, making the island the ultimate physical chokepoint of the AI supply chain — a 'Silicon Shield' that is also a systemic risk given cross-strait tensions. Despite TSMC's Arizona, Japan, and Germany fabs, the most advanced nodes and CoWoS packaging remain concentrated on the island through 2026. Any disruption (blockade, conflict, earthquake) would cascade across every downstream node in this graph.

Times are New York time. Free sources are pulled on the schedule shown by the pipeline runner (data/corpus/run_pipelines.py), which logs every run; paid sources run only with the owner's yes; filings and newsroom pages are re-read when a new document is filed.

Links come from the AI Systems Map ontology. Deals carry the filing's own wording and a quote, checked against the document; latest source 2026-10-26. Not investment advice.
