China charms at Asian Games while maintaining regional disputes

China asserts territorial claims in the South China Sea and near India a month before the Asian Games, then escalates tensions with Taiwan by sending over 100 warplanes just before the event. During the games, China shifted its approach, focusing on impressing Asian nations with technology and hospitality, with President Xi Jinping personally hosting leaders and officials in Hangzhou.
