If, and I stress IF, China decides to go to war, it will be for far less provocation than this.

Then there simply won't be war. I don't know the details of the conversation, but China doesn't really like the US marine force out in Australia neither. Though there'd be very little chance that US will dare to send its army in case of a war, China will stay prudent.
Plus, it has been long since China has gone out to war. And right now, there's quite some drama going inside China's communist party, with some even accused of throwing a coup d'état. There's many things to deal inside the party, and the radical wing would probably be shut down.
If there really was a war, then the discussions should be quite ugly. Not a good time to start a war.

It isn't the first time a country is skeptical of the UN, and surely not the last time. And as I said, PRC regards it as personal matters to deal with the Philippines.
