Is it really that different from claims made by other countries? Proximity does not equal ownership.

Partly, but it is notable in just how ridiculous of a claim it is. Just look at it!

I also don't see why China would look at what happened when Russia tried to alter the status quo and go "Yep, that's a path we want to try too!" considering even minimal western sanctions melted the Russian economy over the course of three short months.

I would think there is an obvious difference between Russia openly invading a country on the door step of Nato/Europe to China playing bumper boats with Vietnam in an area most Westerners consider a backwater. Also China is a lot more economically important to the US which pushed hard for the sanctions.
