I can understand why referee showed a red card because from his view, 1. This is a foul 2. it's inside the box 3. PAG is the last defender except GK 4. His foul eliminated a potential score chance of Hangzhou (The green team). Besides from his angle he couldn't see whether this is a side tackle or he actually touched the ball first.
However, in fact as you say, a red card is a little harsh.
I don't know whether the green forward was diving or not. But from this screenshot we can see the "foul" happened outside the box, unfortunately

Even it is not a dive, the green forward is trying to cheat for a penalty
