#1 This is where the vaunted Chinese ability for long-range thinking comes in to play. They have looked into the future and seen that control of resources plays a huge role. They are moving to control as many resources as they can, now, while China is still using the "hides his strength" strategy. Later there will be a lot of opposition to China obtaining any more resources, so get while the getting's good.

#2 The Chinese are being who they are, and meddling in the Jammu-Kashmir dispute. All this also involves China's own territorial claims in the SW Himalayas....

#4 Will the Three Gorges Dam survive long enough to see the completion of these new ones? I've read scary stories on rantburg about that dam.

#5 TW has the right idea. Sun Tzu. The Chicoms are doing to India what Iran, Hizb'Allah, and the Paleos are doing to Israel. They are slowly encircling their adversary. The Chicoms want to build a strong navy to work on India's coastline, as one of their objectives. This is a full scale game of Go.

#6 I would think the Chinese would worry more about Japan/Korea/Tawian. This smells to me like a chip to be bargained away rather than something the Chinese really care about.
