I have a strong feeling that we will be supporting a proxy war with China in the next 5 years over Taiwan. What funds do you think would be winners and losers if this were to occur?

You bet on winning the war. Any other outcome and your investments will be practically worthless.
The German stock market was frozen in August 1944, preventing a crash, then was down about 78% in 1948.
Hell of a buying opportunity in '48.

Probably TXN since they make the chips for military purposes.

The only way we could hope to protect Taiwan is through direct intervention and we would likely lose.

NOC, LMT.
But I'm pretty sure the answer to the last question is no winners, the entire world loses.

I agree. I don’t see how there’s a real win in the cards if China just strolls over and says “mine”. Certainly don’t want to go to war with China but I am extremely intrigued what our actual response would be if they invaded. I doubled my position in tsm towards the end of last year and it’s just along for the ride now.

Would be bullish for oil and other commodities too maybe? China mines so much of the world’s minerals that any sort of disruption would cause a massive price spike?

Gold, ammo, real estate and enough liquid cash to live on for a while.

I can’t really imagine a single equity that ends higher in that scenario. The answer is to be short TSMC, or any other equity.

Maybe
People forget Taiwan still exists because China couldn't take it by force when they tried
Just being the superior military power is no guarantee of victory. I think China could pulverize Taiwan but don't know if they could invade and subjugate Taiwan

Might as well play both sides. You can buy multiple Chinese defense industry companies with special permission at IB.

Though we had officially adopted the foreign policy of Containment, when China fell to Communism in 1949 we just totally let it happen.
I’d bet on a similar result this time.

In this scenario, China would likely freeze those assets and you’d never get your money back.
