China really lives rent-free in their head, eh?
the pen is indeed mightier than the sword in that it is very easy to backstab people with a sharpened, poisoned pen, while a sword is much more obvious.
I feel like you might be too riled up about this issue. There are always going to be ebbs and flows to sensitive issues, but constant engagement helps reduce serious escalations.
The rest of your post reads like some of nationalist nonsense which just doesn't translate to realistic and healthy policy objectives.

I feel like I don't even know what issue you're talking about. This is my general feeling towards the entire Sino-US relationship upon entering the final phase of China challenging the US rather than being a poor country only suited for making things for the US.
China's rise in power is a constant trend, not an ebb and flow, and that is the main influencing factor to how the Sino-US relationship is conducted. And also, talking is pointless when the other country talks about friendship but acts in a hostile manner. If the US said what they meant and their actions followed, then sure. But their politicians say random things then actions contradict them; it's sitting down with a table of clowns to talk serious business. You'd have a more productive meeting with the janitor of a company than with American politicians. To get Americans to act, you can only show them your power and the consequences. No words are needed; survival instinct will guide them to back down their aggression.
Your entire post reads like Disney level diarrhea about talking and working together when in the real world, there are 2 countries that both want to be the dominant power. There is no cooperation there. You sound like a child asking why 2 boxers pounding each other's faces in for the heavyweight world title don't just sit down and talk it out.

But the US engagements with talks with no serious meaning to reduce tensions, just like the many "engagements" with Sadam Hussein government before regime changing the entire country killing thousands.
If lying was not as natural as breathing for Americans, then maybe there would be some rationale for engagement. However, the US has shown time and time again that their words mean nothing, the only reason why they constantly bring up "guardrails" is that they want to see the extent to which they can freely push China's buttons without the fear of reprisal and slowly up the ante by moving across those "guardrails" while blasting propaganda about how they are doing everything for peace and shit. There is zero reason why China should clearly define those guardrails, keep them guessing while expanding the nuclear arsenal so that even the most braindead Republican would not think about trying to nuke China without understanding that their wasp colony will be glassed as well in response.
This is nonsense and you know it.
Missing Submersible
Tourist Vessel Disappears During Dive to the Titanic Wreck Site
Five people were in the submersible, which lost contact with a surface vessel on Sunday morning in the North Atlantic, the Coast Guard said. A search-and-rescue mission is underway.This seems like the scariest tour I've ever heard of.
