I think this would be a functionally useless move that might hasten the coming of a potential ww3. It doesn't seem like a solution to me, just provocation. It doesn't make the PRC less powerful, it doesn't change how much of the world's manufacturing has been moved there, it doesn't change who owes them money, or their cyber abilities/actions.

What does it do but exclude them from any dialog to make force and violence more likely alternatives?

Because dialog doesn't work on them. They only understand force and power.

WW3 is going to start in the South China Sea eventually, it seems. With each year it seems less and less avoidable.
