Escalate to the point of violen violence. One of the things that makes this particular crisis different, and there have been three others of this sort during, since xi has been in office. This one is different because it has done violent. Which is concerning because it suggests that those agreements and protocols are no longer working. It also tells you what the triggers could be, which is that they were supposed to be in the process of disengagement.
