China aims to dominate the global economy through trade and influence rather than by going to war, creating investment opportunities. However, concerns exist about intellectual property theft.

While China has military capabilities, a war would jeopardize their economic growth and stability. The idea of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is considered over-exaggerated in the markets due to China's aging population and the concentration on playing a long-term economic game.
