Taiwan faces severe energy shortages, with only 11 days of reserves left due to halted Gulf shipments and U.S. delivery failures, heightening its strategic vulnerability to such proposals. https://t.co/sfkuPQEeVJ

Taiwan imports ~97% of its total energy.
Under current reserve levels, Taiwan could sustain national energy consumption for about two weeks if imports stopped.
This is considered dangerously low for a high‑tech, export‑dependent island.
