The only reasons I can really see for them doing this is to appeal to the anti-China sentiments in the US and to create a heightened sense of fear of conflict where Pelosi and Biden can end up being seen as showing strength as standing up for America's values/interests globally. That barely makes any sense to me either though. It just seems nuts, and quite a gamble.
