As I hinted at at a recent thread, one of China's geopolitical principles is the respect for internationally agreed territorial integrity, because their legitimacy to reclaim Taiwan as theirs relies on it. China tolerates Russia's stunt because they're allies of necessity, but it forces them into an uncomfortable position.

What are you smoking? China has been trying to steal islands in the south seas to extend their fishing territory for decades...

You may think it's bollocks, but they have been very consistent in claiming they're theirs even since before China was the PRC.
