All knew it,s just in name only, but still it was important. Us knew china only wanted limited war, thus pveventing eascalation such as bombing china or even atomic bomb.
Now both sides should use caution, more often use civilian way instead of official one to attack each other.
For example, zhao or HOA should never speak such harsh stuff, leave it to global times or onlines. Us? It was very bad for Pompey or red field said such lab leaks, leave it to media.
Always leave room for compromise, if both sides keep officially attacking styles, things really could get into disaster. We can,t, the world can,t afford common citizens get used to violent confrontations
