China's Assertive Diplomatic Posturing Under President Xi Jinping Escalates Tensions with Taiwan, Philippines

Published on 4.29.25

  China's Assertive Diplomatic Posturing Escalates Tensions The current state of international relations is marked by a significant shift in China's approach under President Xi Jinping, with analysts describing his actions as "end-of-regime conduct." This is evident in China's recent behavior towards several nations, including the Philippines and Taiwan. China's claim on Taiwan, which it considers its own territory, has been particularly provocative. The naming of a Chinese ship after it passed through the Strait of Taiwan has been labeled an act of "public hyping" by China's People's Liberation Army. This move is part of a broader strategy to maintain influence without appearing to give in to US demands. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has defended Beijing's stance, calling US tariffs "extreme egoism." The strained relations between China and several countries have raised concerns about the stability of international diplomacy under Xi's leadership.
