7 Stocks to Watch in Case China-Taiwan Tensions Rise
Since the start of August, the world has been wondering if China will invade Taiwan. While no specific hostile military action has been taken by either nation, China has been rattling its saber. Mainland China recently restarted military drills near Taiwan after its neighbor received a visit from U.S. lawmakers. This delegation included members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Wall Street Journal reports that those present discussed the maintenance of regional stability and increasing trade relations between the two nations. If tensions do boil over then investors will be considering the best stocks to watch to avoid global conflict-induced turbulence. And the financial world is definitely nervous about the prospect. Business leaders across the globe are quietly but increasingly preparing for a possible conflict between the two nations. As the Financial Times notes: “The intensified planning by business leaders in the US, Europe, Japan and elsewhere is a signal that investors in China no longer consider an invasion of Taiwan to be merely a low probability ‘black swan’ risk to the world’s second-biggest economy.” Now, the U.S. foreign policy community is mixed about the prospects of war any time soon.
