Some of the nation’s most prominent companies, including tech giant Apple, are facing an awkward shareholder proposal this year: a request that they report how much their operations depend on and are vulnerable to an increasingly hostile China.

As is usually the case with shareholder proposals, they are going down to defeat. They mustered 5% approval at Starbucks’ annual meeting in January and Apple’s in March, and 7% at Disney’s this month. But companies heavily reliant on the giant Chinese market might feel more pressure from shareholders in the future, especially if China invades Taiwan. Just this week, Chinese warships and fighter jets encircled the island in a series of simulated strikes.
