China has a tradition of chest-puffing nonsense. China and Taiwan have been dancing this dance for many generations. It's a pageant. Sadly, America does not engage in "pretend" military operations for chest-puffing purposes. Unless China and America come to an understanding about this vast difference in cultures, an incident in our future will develop into an international problem. The US Navy is intolerant of game-playing using deadly machinery. China uses its ships for mostly this (game-playing) purpose.
