Strategic Multilayer Assessment (SME) General Speaker Session
“China has escalated its aggressive and coercive tactics against smaller and less powerful states as part of its objective to become a regional hegemony. Major targets of Chinese aggression since President Xi Jinping assumed power in 2012 include Taiwan and the Philippines.
