Some of President Trump’s closest advisers believe the most consequential outcome of the recent Beijing summit isn’t a trade deal or diplomatic reset. It’s a growing conviction that Chinese President Xi Jinping may move against Taiwan within the next five years, potentially severing the semiconductor supply chain that underpins everything from AI models to crypto mining hardware. One Trump adviser described Xi’s posture in blunt terms: China is no longer positioning itself as a rising power. It’s asserting parity with the US and signaling that Taiwan belongs to Beijing. The warmth of the summit, by this reading, was strategic theater masking a more aggressive territorial stance.

The post India’s stock market risks dropping out of top five as AI rallies boost Taiwan and Korea appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. India spent years climbing the global equity rankings, reaching the fourth-largest stock market in the world with a market capitalization of roughly $4.3 trillion in early 2024. Now that position is under threat, and the culprit is one India knows intimately but from the wrong side: artificial intelligence. Taiwan and South Korea, home to the companies actually building the silicon that makes AI possible, have seen their markets surge on the back of insatiable demand for chips. India, whose tech sector is built on services rather than semiconductors, is finding that being good at deploying AI talent doesn’t translate into stock market momentum the same way manufacturing the hardware does. The hardware advantage India doesn’t have Taiwan has TSMC, the company that fabricates the vast majority of the world’s most advanced chips. South Korea has Samsung El
