Key Notes
model
He argues AI and semiconductors are not a one-country capture problem due to globally distributed supply chains, keeping strategic leverage with the U.S. despite industrial competition.
model
Jiang says a modern semiconductor system is an international chain in which design, manufacturing, intermediate processing, assembly, mineral extraction, and final sales are spread across multiple regions rather than controlled by one nation.

diagnosis
He argues that closing the Strait compounds a supply-chain shock beyond petroleum because helium, fertilizer, sulfuric acid, and energy-intensive manufacturing inputs are also disrupted.
model
Jiang presents Israel as an AI and supply-chain power whose pager attacks and possible surveillance reach imply deep technological leverage that exceeds what most states openly acknowledge.
