We believe that the China-Taiwan conflict at this point stays as a low-probability but high-impact event. If there were conflict happening to those two countries and regions, the impact is going to be more widespread, not just to China and Taiwan, and the industries that are impacted will be also very broad-based. We believe that the risk premium of Chinese equities and certain Taiwanese equities will have to factor in the rising geopolitical risks. But other than that, we’ll continue to focus on the fundamental cycle considerations, and then figure out the best risk-reward metrics for the companies we invest in.
