you can't intimidate china, they are provoking it trying to get them to fire first and pose as victims of the "evil warmongering yellow man"
Neither.
They are checking response time and tactics. This is the same reason Russia flies jets off of the coast of Scotland and Alaska.
All three!
They had a reporter crew with them. I genuinely think in this case they would have liked China to fire so they could have spun their deaths and the whole incident as especially bad. Well that and having those bourgeois bootlicking propagandists on-board allows them to point to them as ‘independent’ sources that they were doing no wrong.
