If they don't sink naval fleet off the coast, then it is either acceptable, or they've received some other unrelated acceptable concessions for not sinking the fleet.

There are other options. For example, China could easily cut off the US from critical supplies by putting on sanctions.

You think escalating against Trump is a good idea?

Sinking a navy is not an escalation for an illegal invasion. You can order the US to leave before doing it. Unacceptable has a meaning other than threatening to complain longer. Sinking a fleet is more appropriate and less of an escalation than blockading Taiwan from US trade.
