The publication has spent a number of weeks in the and has ignited considerable conversation and engagement on , leading to several podcast and news show appearances from Andreas.
What if China attacks and Taiwan Falls?
This is the worst-case scenario and counterfactual history at the heart of Andreas Fulda’s German-language book Wenn China angreift. Ein Szenario (C.H.Beck, 2026). Once confined to niche security panels, Taiwan’s vulnerability has entered mainstream debate. Beijing’s repeated military exercises around the island prompted The Economist to call it ‘the most dangerous place on Earth’. Xi Jinping’s determination to incorporate Taiwan – by force if necessary – leaves little room for political compromise, especially given Beijing’s longstanding rejection of self-determination for any territory it claims as its own.
Congratulations Andreas.
