Hanna Dohmen discusses the global consequences of a conflict over Taiwan.
Providing expert insight, Dohmen focuses on the potential global repercussions of a conflict over Taiwan. She states, “The consequences of a conflict over Taiwan would really be felt globally, and I think it’s safe to say with a much greater impact than Russia’s war in Ukraine. You know, industries would take a big hit, the economy would take a big hit.” She added, “There would be sanctions against Beijing and Beijing’s partners. Countries would be pushed to choose sides; there would be absolutely disruptions to trade and global security.”
