Strong economic dependencies are dangerous. This is currently demonstrated by the shortage of Russian gas. But Germany's economic dependencies on China are much larger. Many companies, as well as the German government, are now rethinking their China strategy. It could be the beginning of a turning point.

Like every year, the island nation of Taiwan is preparing for a possible Chinese attack with a major military maneuver and civil defense drills. But for decades, the threat of war has not been as realistic as it is now. Tangible threats from Beijing and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have put Taiwan on high alert.

Wie jedes Jahr bereitet sich der Inselstaat Taiwan mit einem großen Militärmanöver und Übungen zum Zivilschutz auf einen möglichen chinesischen Angriff vor. Doch so real wie jetzt ist die Kriegsgefahr seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr gewesen. Handfeste Drohungen aus Peking und das Beispiel Russland, das über die Ukraine hergefallen ist, versetzen Taiwan in akute Alarmbereitschaft.
