During The Wall Street Journal conference on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that a crisis in the Taiwan Strait will bear ‘devastating’ outcomes for the global economy, which is already in dire straits.
“If there were to be a crisis, which is, of course, the very thing that we want to avert, the impact on countries around the world, the impact on the world economy could be devastating,” Blinken said, clarifying further that the Taiwan Strait is a daily route for half of the world’s container shipments.
“I think what China is hearing from other countries, not just us, is that there should not be unilateral steps to change the status quo,” Blinken continued.
