One can imagine that chinese leaders can hand wave away whatever number of casualties it has to withstand in order to get at least one or two of these docked and offloading. I think it would be silly to assume that china wouldn't do something just because a bunch of it's own people might die in the doing. It's never stopped them before, why would it now?
