I think generally speaking humans are petty and nation to nation 'punishments' and reactions generally look petty just by default ... short of war.

Good or bad choice I'll leave that to everyone else to decide (wouldn't cost China much to just do ... nothing) but I think it's human nature to some extent.

Sometimes it can be advantageous to appear petty and unstable.
