“China ‘ready to fight’ after military drills near Taiwan.” — ABC News.
Here’s a quick note on escalating tensions in Taiwan’s Strait.
If you’ve got cash in any of the seven asset classes in immediate danger…
Please pay attention as events unfold in the days ahead.
Taiwan
Taiwan’s Strait is so critical to global economic growth…
It’s been called the world’s most important waterway.
(It may also be the most dangerous — as of 2023).
Here’s why:
Taiwan makes over 66% of the semiconductors that power our computers, smartphones, televisions, microwaves, and even our cars’ brake sensors.
These semiconductors are shipped through Taiwan’s Strait.
Without them, companies can’t manufacture anything – inflation spikes, the global economy grinds to a halt, capital investments tank, and you guessed it…
Unprepared folks sustain painful losses.
Remember I said Taiwan’s Strait might also be the world’s most dangerous waterway?
Well, that’s because it is home to the military showdown between the U.S. and China.
And the Chinese military just sealed it off for a simulated…
Three-day Wargames Drill
(A sign of what’s coming in the weeks ahead).
Something else to remember:
Taiwan makes over 66% of the semiconductors that power our computers, smartphones, televisions, microwaves, and even our cars’ brake sensors.
And these semiconductors are shipped through Taiwan’s Strait.
If you’ve been keeping up, you know even a five percent disruption in the global semiconductor supply chain has significant implications for our economy and investors.
Following a semiconductor supply snarl, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, IBM, and other Wall Street darlings relying on Taiwan’s chips saw their sales tank.
Earnings dropped, and the “large-cap crisis” rocked the stock market.
Unprepared folks lost about 55% of their cash (many shared their stories on Reddit).
But it wasn’t just the stock market.
Thanks to inflation caused by the supply snarl, five other asset classes were affected.
A similar story is playing out today.
China’s latest “wargames drill” suggests another supply-chain crisis is underway.
They could launch a full-scale attack on Taiwan anytime before January 2024.
China news
When that happens, the first military action will likely be “full control of Taiwan’s Strait.”
In other words, China could soon control the global semiconductor supply chain.
We’ll likely see another semiconductor crisis (but on a much bigger scale).
Like in 2021, it will disrupt our economy.
And because everything practically grinds to a halt without semiconductors…
The following asset classes could be in sudden danger:
When China strikes, you don’t want your cash stuck in the wrong assets.
In other words, now is the time to sit up and do the needful.
And in case you haven’t connected the dots yet, let me put it like this:
It’s no coincidence that China is escalating tensions in Taiwan while most oil-producing countries are ditching the petrodollar for the Chinese Yuan.
Hence, unlike what most financial analysts think…
It’s not just about who controls the semiconductor supply chain…
It’s about who controls the international monetary system…
And invariably… the global economy and financial markets.
This ties in with the “blackhole crisis” I’ve written about since 2020.
(i.e.: a series of events that will change the course of financial history).
Like every significant shift, fortunes will be made and lost.
But ultimately, how you prepare determines what side you end up on.
I’ll share more details during my Saturday presentation at 11 am ET.
