Why Taiwan and the South China Sea matter to the US and the world
Taiwan and the South China Sea are significant global issues because they relate to vital international trade, especially given that Taiwan produces the majority of the world’s advanced semiconductors. Both areas face tensions involving Beijing, which claims sovereignty over virtually the entire South China Sea and views Taiwan as its own territory. What happens in these regions could have worldwide consequences for global trade.
