The Chinese Communist Party has revealed it's Achilles' heel. The Pavlovian response to thump its chest, thrash around and proclaim its power via massive military exercises in response to a certain type of "provocation" has shown the way to ruin China. All the U.S. has to do is send a politician or delegation to Taiwan every week or two, thus guaranteeing that the dear leader and his party will waste countless millions in missiles, fuel, supplies, munitions, ship maintenance, repairs and propaganda; not to mention the entertainment value to the rest of the world of seeing a major country behaving like a spoiled 7-year old throwing tantrums.

Keep it up, comrade Xi! The world is watching and laughing.
