I think they do that for many reason.

1. To help them in War.
2. To show off.
3. Spy

If china can produce a drone for less then the cost of a missle to shoot it down, it's a win/win for china. Economy of scale.

I'm kinda, sorta a wanna-be drone pilot .. ok ... RC Aircraft ... but
99.99% of the hardware comes from China.

This stuff includes
Auto Pilots - GPS - Camera - VHF / UHF uplink / downlink - 6-axis control - Servos
and on, and on, an on

And all dirt cheap!

They are going to build so many drones that as to blanket the skys.
