What the semiconductor stack measures
Bilateral trade across OECD-informed HS6 products. It sees border crossings, not ownership, inventories or factory-to-factory contracts.
The same integrated-circuit products appear on both sides: imports capture chip dependence while exports capture a country’s position as a producer, packaging hub or re-exporter. Trade value alone cannot distinguish those roles.

A trade map, not a fab map.
UN Comtrade does not reveal inventories, ownership, contractual dependencies, domestic production or the actual chips embedded in finished devices. Deactivation highlights observed border relationships only.
