China Telecom - AI supply-chain exposure
The model reads China Telecom primarily as a producer in Infrastructure. Its strongest structural lever is Inference serving (system bottleneck #3), which it produces or supplies - genuine pricing power. Its largest modeled sensitivity is a shock at GPU (constraint β 14).
