Taiwan has shut down ahead of Typhoon Champi, with hundreds of flights cancelled as the storm approaches. This decision is likely due to the typhoon's large radius, which is expected to cover most of Taiwan, posing a significant threat to the island. The economic impact of this shutdown will be felt in Taiwan's transportation and tourism sectors, potentially affecting trade and commerce. The closure will also likely disrupt supply chains and business operations, causing losses for companies and individuals.
