China's Strategic Military Mistake?

Far be it for me to defend Communist Chinese military aggression, but I wonder.

The Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Chinese Party (PSCCCP) sure looks like they have miscalculated. Buzzing Japanese surveillance planes, and playing chicken with US Navy vessels. Violating the economic zone of her neighbors. This belligerence seems to have provoked a defense league. Countries that have never had anything to do with one another (India, Vietnam, Japan, Philippines) are now cooperating for the first time in history.

Think for a moment: Communist China is pumping oil from Africa, Iraq, and (potentially) Canada. Add in the recent deal to import natural gas from Russia. All of the ocean territory seized by CC have one thing in common: oil. CC is resource hungry.

I believe that the motivating force behind CC foreign policy is the same one that motivated Bush-the-son's:
oil
It made for messy and difficult foreign policy, and it could be that CC is going down the same road. If so, it will lead to equally tragic consequences.
OK, this is my analysis. May I go out and play now?
