Yeah they do. Even right now they're trying to take territory from the Philippines. China just has a history of denying what they're doing as they're doing it. There are so many examples online. My favourite is of a Chinese warship ramming into its own coast guard vessel as they fail to intimidate the Philippines Coast Guard. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cev22n0lm1xo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cev22n0lm1xo
