The issue is that China's facing a severe water shortage that will worsen if current climate trends continue. Couple that with perceived historical claims to the Vladivostok area, with its prominent water sources, makes tension between the two states unavoidable.

I heard they're gonna dam the Indian rivers and divert their water north. It'll have the two-fold benefit of crippling India and making them their bitch, and also irrigating the areas running out of water. India won't go to war with China over this I bet, the leadership are pussies.
