That's my view, too. We also don't know what's said behind closed doors. And the consequence of crossing a red line doesn't have to be a military response. China does seem to respond when it's red lines are crossed, it just does so subtly.

I believe the reason China does this is to boost its foriegn policy to BRICs/the third world. Its hard to make an arguement that you're the better option to the USA if you're engaged in 20 proxy wars.
