Eo biển Hormuz thường chỉ xuất hiện dày đặc trên truyền thông khi Trung Đông nóng lên. Nhưng nếu nhìn từ góc độ logistics và cấu trúc thương mại quốc tế, Hormuz không phải một “biến cố mới” mà là một lời nhắc lặp đi lặp lại về điểm yếu cố hữu của toàn cầu hóa: quá nhiều hàng hóa, năng lượng và dòng lưu chuyển chiến lược của thế giới vẫn phải đi qua quá ít cửa ngõ.

That is the core argument running through the uploaded document, and it becomes even more compelling

Is Your Supply Chain Resilient Enough?

Supply chain disruptions are no longer rare events—they have become a reality of modern business operations.
