Compromise and use, sure, Subjugate is waaay too impractical. These people are NOT hitler, they are very realistic and practical.

Sure, but organized crime learned long ago not to engage in open warfare with the FOLA... ultimately that will incense society (global community in this case) to action. Organized crime likes to function on the DL. What's different is that unlike organized crime, the PRC actually has a legally-recognized sovereignty so they are always somewhat safe in their own house, and entitled to possess arms. If they engage in military adventures against their neighbors (they have the capability of inclination to project power far afield), they will quickly be relegated to international rogue/pariah status. They vastly prefer to be considered a member of the global community in good standing.

And then lied about it to the rest of the world.
They might well be culpable in the Bhopal sense, either for accidental release, cover-up, or both. But BP didn't intentionally release the gas.
