Similar was said when Reagen sent warships towards Soviet waters and the Soviets backed down. The Chinese government will modify their behavior. They know they wouldn't be able to win and the current government - like all despotic governments - are more concern with staying in power than anything else.

The Chinese government respects strength. If Trump played nice they would take it as weakness and take advantage.
