Taiwan's GDP Falls By Record 8.4% In Fourth Quarter

What is terribly frightening is private investment fell by 33% in the fourth quarter. Even though there is substantial political tension and rhetoric between China and Taiwan, the reality is somewhat more complex. Taiwan was one of the largest investors in mainland China over the past fifteen years with estimates north of $200 billion in direct investment. Might you anticipate an impact on this relationship and economic consequences with Taiwan's private investment falling so precipitously? Do you remember my posts on The Game a few years ago?
