Taiwan
A self-governed island claimed by China; it manufactures most of the world's advanced semiconductors, placing it at the center of technology and security risk.
Coverage of Taiwan is fading : 4 signals on the latest tracked day, down 20% from its three-week baseline of 5, across 4 domains (down from 8 a week ago). That makes it the #255 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
If Taiwan matters to your work, attention is draining away — the pace of news no longer demands a daily check.
