While armchair analysts warn about war between China and Taiwan, the smart money is quietly betting billions that Taiwan will remain at peace.
Leading the wave of the largely overlooked long-term foreign investment are America's AI titans and Japan's top property companies. In the last seven years, foreign corporations have invested, or committed to invest, more than $25.259 billion in Taiwan, according to our analysis of Taiwanese government data and company announcements.
In the tech sector, companies such as Advanced Micro Devices, ASML Holding, Google (Alphabet), Micron Technology, Microsoft, Nvidia, Yahoo and others have invested or committed more than $6.27 billion since 2018.
Seems the people with the money do not foresee a war, despite what many on here are talking about.
China gains nothing by going to war with anyone, all that would do is cost them customers.
