Explanation: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: All China has to do is say is Taiwan you are free to go and we can all be friends. Let Hong Kong be free too, as its peoples desire it . A trade war or a real war helps no one. China has been a bully and picks on small countries and that is shameful and harms China. I do believe Trump will defend Taiwan at all costs-Taiwan is a friend, a democracy, an ally and a great role model for China to pursue, if the bloody minded Communist Party can ever see the light.
Answer:
Non-threat
