| Today, I spoke with Jacob Shapiro, director of geopolitical research at Cognitive Investments. We discussed the long-term effects Nancy Pelosi’s visit could have on US-China relations, and much, much more. In this edition, you’ll hear Jacob and me discuss: ► What Putin really wants, and why the Russia-Ukraine conflict is likely far from over… ► Why Nancy Pelosi’s visit is really the 4th Taiwan Strait crisis… ► How restoring normal trade relations with China could significantly lower inflation—and why that’s unlikely to happen… ► Why the dangerous crisis brewing in China’s real estate sector should be on people’s minds… ► How Taiwan is rapidly becoming a “domestic political football” for both Washington and Beijing… To learn more about Jacob Shapiro, click here: https://www.cognitive.investments/Jacob-Shapiro Did you like this interview?
