Actually, this might make sense for the PRC to do (at some level). The Russians gave the world a demonstration on how not to mess with them in 2008 and got away with it without even real PR-damage in the parts of the world they care about. The Chinese, too, could assert themselves as the #1 regional power (regional in this case being relative with nearly half of the world's population living in S&E Asia) , and could at the same time demonstrate its muscle to the World at large. All without really having to fear for any repercussions, because, hey, we didn't put the Russians in the corner either, did we now?
EDIT: Not that I actually believe this is going to happen any time soon. It's just less a part of fairyland than, say, an Israeli-Turkish war.
