I don't think the tariffs have anything to do with any trade deficit. They're designed to damage the economic capacity of anyone China could quickly and easily control. Like sanctioning Belarus only it's proactive instead of reactive.

How does putting tariffs on uninhabited islands accomplish that?

Uninhabited islands have resources that can be exported. They might not have humans permanently stationed there but they'll still be visited and owned by a country that is inhabited and governed and levies tariffs.
