There's a whole intimidation factor at work there, as well as an attempt to see if we can get China to "pick a fight" with us - an insane strategy considering that China is a nuclear armed power, although not nearly to the extent that we are. Moreover, they now have Russia on their side in what one Chinese communication said was was "more than an alliance".
