Taiwan warns China ‘expansionism’ to persist without global action

TAIPEI: China’s “authoritarian expansionism” in regional waters will persist if the world fails to act, a senior Taiwanese security official warned on Wednesday, describing Beijing’s strategy as “incremental salami slicing.” Chinese ships regularly ply the East China Sea, Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea to assert Beijing’s maritime claims over disputed waters and islands. China is “constantly pushing the limits through an incremental salami-slicing approach,” Lii Wen, a deputy secretary-general of the National Security Council, told an international forum.
