Somewhere on the spectrum of doing a weak press release saying "we
don't like this!" and sending in nuclear bombs.

Why has anyone ever colonised anywhere else? Expansion, economic gain,
the dearly held belief of a leader that such would be a correct
action. That's my point: there would be many reasons to do so. If we
know one thing about world leaders it's that they don't seem to like
just tending their garden, they're always looking outwards. Always
wanting more.

It seems reasonable to suppose that China looks at America and thinks
"Hey! They get involved overseas... we want some of that action."
