China has no plausible deniability for anything at all, because it is run by a bunch of Communist cheats who censor the internet and violently put down any dissent. Practically any reasonable action taken by the US against China would not properly be seen as a war provocation. Lots of people (and governments) hate the US and would call it a war provocation... but they wouldn't be right and generally, the opinions of scum don't actually matter and should just be ignored.
