China’s Drone Test: How Beijing Is Pressuring Taiwan Without War | GRAVITAS
China has flown a military drone into Taiwan’s claimed airspace near Pratas Island, a move analysts say signals Beijing’s growing pressure campaign. The PLA says the mission was routine and legal. But Taiwan calls it highly provocative. Experts describe the move as part of China’s “salami-slicing” strategy, taking small steps to assert control without triggering conflict. With Pratas located near key maritime routes and submarine corridors, the incident raises fresh concerns about Taiwan’s defence vulnerabilities and Beijing’s long-term intentions.
