You no doubt heard there was great controversy over the recent visit by America’s Speaker of the House to Taiwan. China did not like it. China did not like it one bit. The situation created a bit of a standoff. Neither side wanted to show weakness. It was a moment. The moment has passed. But the significance is present and quite important. Were you wondering what the commotion was about? You definitely weren’t alone. Taiwan was one of the most frequently searched words on Google early in the month of August. I’ve had a number of people ask me to cover this subject. What does Taiwan mean to the Market? Why is it that Taiwan matters so much? It’s a pretty complex topic. It goes back a while. But like anything, it’s really important to understand the “why” so we can deal with the “what.” This is my endeavor to frame the situation around Taiwan and where it might be headed.
