Now the Chinese can relay their spam through U.S. military naval vessels." Well, Chinese spammers, anyhow.

    In the event of Taiwan's declaring independence from the mainland, we can instantly flood Beijing with ads for penis enlargement!

    That will slow down the PRC armies long enough for us to convince them that they don't really need Tawian and should focus on switching over to an economy based on turkey guts.
