Maybe someone on a hike accidentally kicked the equipment.
It says it was off the coast, so maybe some scuba diver hit it with their flipper
Wha? Sichuan province borders Tibet. It's nowhere near a coastline.

USGS is usually very prompt with their auto-email re: global earthquakes. I don't see anything yet, but will report details if it shows up. If not up within the next hour or two, I'd be inclined to doubt it.
BTW, I've not personally witnessed any data that indicates USGS fiddling with either the measurement parameters, nor the epicenter. Often the intial magnitude report is refined shortly thereafter, when it has been compared with other global seismographs.
How do you suscribe to the auto-email? I'd like to get in on that.
