Concerns rise after Chinese envoys’ aggression in one of the major battlegrounds for influence between Beijing and Taipei

Taipei — Chinese diplomats injured one of their Taiwanese counterparts during a scuffle in the South Pacific earlier in October, a senior Taiwanese official said, highlighting rising concerns over Beijing’s aggressive “wolf warrior” diplomacy.

Taiwan’s foreign ministry condemned what it called “provocative wolf warrior diplomacy” as a violation of rule of law and civilised behaviour, a reference to Chinese diplomats who have taken an increasingly assertive stance on social media in advocating for Beijing’s policies.
