building artificial islands (creating conflict) and having a goal of stability (not conflict) are opposites. you are contradicting yourself

Actually it's not. For instance cleptocracy of Russia was ever trying to sell "stability" to the masses while creating conflicts in foreign policy. Apparently it's essier to sell this BS of being protectors of stability by creating image that world is full of enemies whose only goal is to destoy your homeland.

CCP regime is different, but I guess it's the same playbook. 1984 in action.
