A factory does not become strategic because someone hangs a flag over the gate. It becomes strategic when excess capacity, labor politics, export rules, and drone demand all point at the same loading dock.
The border did not move. The shortcut did. Once process travels inland, every address becomes closer to the machinery.
The memory boom is not just corporate luck. It is grid planning, tax bargaining, export exposure, and national rank disguised as a balance-sheet line.
Sanctions do not erase demand. They redirect it through lawyers, design services, licensing language, and whatever corridor remains unblocked this quarter.
