Russia invading Ukraine also made zero sense, given their actual capabilities and the likely (now realized) consequences. The leader doesn't always have the best information, it turns out.
Either that, or the leader does have access to the best information, and they just DGAF. That condition seems to be going around too.
I guess I see Chinese leadership as more rational than that, but maybe you're right.
