It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I believe its to not seem weak on "the china issue" to the local audience. Like "We're going to try diplomatic means with the chinese (again), because we're the good guys who don't want a war, but don't you worry we see them for what they really are."
Then any concessions the US makes to the evil chinese "regime" are reasonable realpolitik necessities because of very complex diplomatic issues with a country thats notoriously tough to reason with and at the same time any concessions the chinese make are not good enough because it didn't bring that evil "regime" to its knees.
