Could China take Taiwan and still lose? A conflict could put Beijing’s own trade, investment and access to technology at risk and send the disruption far beyond Asia.
DW speaks to Charlie Vest of Rhodium Group and Kristy Hsu of the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, who advises Taiwan’s government on trade policy. They examine the economic price China could face, Taiwan’s efforts to strengthen its resilience, and the global dependence on its chips. They also explore the pressure Beijing could apply without launching a full invasion, and whether economic costs can deter conflict.
