No it’s called policy making. You show the CCP an inch and they’ll take two.
The way to combat the CCP is to avoid even giving an inch. It worked in the Cold War and will work today.

Every country with the clout to do that does it, and the other countries know it. You speak of the CCP like they're evil bastards waiting to leap at your throat, but in reality USA and China have a lot in common, at least in world politics.
Some Latin American countries tried to avoid giving even an inch to USA, and it didn't end well. China has done the same in Asia. USA-China rivalry is not about good and bad, it's more akin to thugs invading each other's turfs.
