Premium editorial infographic showing the global semiconductor supply chain as a vertical pipeline with five stages, each colour-coded by dominant country. From top to bottom: Design (USA — NVIDIA, Apple, Qualcomm, AMD), EUV Lithography Machines (Netherlands — ASML, sole global supplier), Fab- rication (Taiwan — TSMC, 92% of cutting-edge chips, for Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom), Memory (South Korea — SK Hynix and Samsung, HBM market $54.6 billion in 2026), and Packaging/Assembly (Japan, China, and Southeast Asia). Three callout boxes on the right highlight: global chip sales of $791.7 billion in 2025 (record, SIA primary), the $1 trillion projection for 2026 (first in history), and Taiwan's 92% concentration risk. Based on SIA primary data (semiconductors.org) and TSMC's SEC 6-K filing (March 4, 2025). Global Semiconductor Race.

Four callout boxes surrounding the dish show the key statistics: 4.7 million deaths associated with AMR annually, 39 million direct deaths projected 2025-2050 (3 per minute), and the WHO's July 2026 statement that "few new medicines" are in the pipeline. Based on WHO primary data (who.int, July 16, 2026) and Lancet GRAM 2024. Part of MacroDiscovery's "Visualized: The Global Antibiotic Crisis."
