To be honest, what does China have to gain? They are destroying the very "province" they seek to reunify? If they don't claim responsibility, I don't see how that brings them closer to claiming the island.
It would make sense if China were to use it against the US though. To stoke "America first" Republicans and make the US withdraw from geopolitical positions.
Playing devil's advocate: they wouldn't, as you said US would be main target for such a weapon.
But weapons in development need testing...
