China is mired in serious economic troubles, which puts Taiwan at more risk of being invaded this year than any year in the past, according to hedge fund manager and investor Kyle Bass.

“I think that 2024 has the highest probability that we’ve seen in our lifetimes of China invading Taiwan,” said Mr. Bass, in an appearance on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program aired on Jan. 11.
