These are trainers (if that article is correct - I have no idea of their credibility), not a tripwire force.

The two are not mutually exclusive. If China invades and kills US soldiers in the process, training team or no, that’s still gonna be casus belli for the US.

I don't think so. Iranian proxies and others have killed US soldiers recently without starting a war.

The US had a training team in Georgia when Russia invaded.

The trainers turned themselves over to the Russians, and were interred (at the Ritz) as neutral soldiers.

A training team can be a tripwire, or not.

Again, ambiguity.
