Taiwan’s economy is indisputably vulnerable to Chinese gray-zone aggression and invasion threats. That doesn’t mean, though, that companies on the island are doomed.

Important Tip

In the future if a post needs to be moved or deleted just report the post, you can even report your own post. As seen here:
I or other mod/staff get a special notification so we can take care of the mistake right away. It's just overall much more effective way to go about correcting simple mistakes you need a mod/staff to fix rather than posting to get the problem solved which I'll admit I don't get to all of them as much as I'd like too.

It's not a big deal or in regards to anything nefarious. Simply something I been wanting to tell the entire community for awhile, just kept forgetting.
