Apparently, it's Asia. Specifically named are "India, China, Japan, South Korea and several Southeast Asian states".

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, has disrupted fuel supplies and pushed up prices across the region.

About 20 million barrels per day (mb/d) of crude oil and oil products, or roughly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade, passed through the strait in 2025. About 80 per cent of those shipments were bound for Asia, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

That means any disruption is felt most acutely in energy-importing economies thousands of kilometres away from the war zone.

"Almost all Asian countries, in particular India, China, Japan, South Korea and several Southeast Asian states are heavily dependent on oil and gas imports from the Middle East,” Mr Lawrence Anderson, a Senior Fellow at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University, told CNA.
