It could be an example of them trying to pretend to be “diplomatic” so they can pretend to be the good guys when they cross China’s red line. But I think it is too soon to say.
They are probably just trying to keep “all options option” (except let China live in peace of course.) and this visit is just a part of that rather than specific long term plans to set up a war. They will use it in whatever way they can though.
