NEW DELHI—The likelihood of the Chinese regime launching an attack in the near future on its disputed border with India is more than it attacking Taiwan, according to the author of a new book on the subject.

India and China are building up their military forces along their disputed border in Ladakh as 15 rounds of talks have made no headway, following the 2020 bloody conflict of Galwan in which both countries suffered casualties for the first time in nearly 45 years.
