Historically, China is probably the single least ocean-focused country of any country to have a coast.

What about their vast fishing and shipping fleets?

China trades with almost every country in the world-that is maritime power. Since Xi became president China is acting more like a continental power-looking at land expansion at the cost of trade. Granted China did not attack Taiwan yet. Hopefully Xi sees this folly and does not attack Taiwan.

No, that has absolutely nothing to do with "maritime power".

How do they ship goods worldwide?

Except when it comes to the South China Sea.
