There would be outrage if China sailed warships through the Baltic and North seas, or the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea. Or if China had a strong military presence in Russia, Belarus, Cuba, and Venezuela etc.

Baltic and North seas, or the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea

None of these are contested territories. Chinese vessels go there all the time and nobody really cares.

That you think there would be outrage highlights your lack of understanding.

International waters are just so. It's only a problem when a country decides to try and restrict access to international waters, and one way to show that this decision is not accepted is to sail warships through it.
