I think I know what you're trying to say here, though: what if (for example) China were to say that people in Taiwan are plotting to attack China - they'd have an "excuse" to attack. Well, they don't. There wouldn't be any proof whatsoever for such a claim, and the Chinese would be kicked back in line. The US, on the other hand, faces attacks from global terrorists on a daily basis, which is well documented, and proven by the attacks in the past decades.

your example is pretty bad.
what if south korea acts on this?
what if india acts on this?
what if the countries in africa (where there is already a lot of wars) act on this?
