You don't get it.
China will not shoot anything to give a reason for the US to destroy those islands. China will just escort the ships and aircraft as if it neared the mainland itself.
The current situation works perfectly for China.
China militarises those islands which allows China to station its military assets on those islands thus extending the reach of the Chinese military. US will patrol to save face to its allies and show its domestic audience its still influential, China will escort and send strong diplomatic statements to show China is unhappy to please the domestic audience, but the bottomline is those islands will be militarised to hold Chinese military assets which significantly extends the reach of the Chinese military.
As long as China militaries those islands, China is winning this game. Because once its militarised and hold PLA assets, if the US military destroys them, that will be an act of war against China. The last thing the US wants is a war with a powerful military like the PLA. The US is caught between a rock and a hard place. China has checkmated the US. You don't even realise.
China has now suffered too much in the production overcapacity.
So now it is the time to turn these overcapacities into the war machines, and it looks like Xi Jinping has the balls to do that.
