De-escalating 'key word' at summit

I was labeled as a "traitor" by some random netizens when I tweeted on my Sina Weibo, a popular Chinese micro-blogging website, about a month ago, predicting de-escalation over the dispute over Huangyan Island in South China Sea between China and the Philippines.
It was at a time when the dispute reached its hottest peak, and some lectured me that Chinese troops should "fight to get the island back at any cost".
I received another lecture, a different and much more sensible one, in Singapore this weekend.
