wrecking Beijing’s relations with its neighbors

What a load of crap. We all know that China has always been abusive when it comes to the contested islands ... wherever there is oil, China's claiming it as well.

What country wants the Chinese PLA on their territory? Nobody. Not even teeth & lips North Korea,
