Reply #62: You don't threaten a trading partner, demanding to be let in or else.

I'd call that hot-headed. If they cannot understand that Americans have concerns, even if they don't feel they may be valid, they're being hot-headed. Are we? Maybe, maybe not. But we have every right to be, in light of the bogeyman scare-tactics the GOP has employed leading up to this deal. They should back off, simply to demonstrate that they're going to be a good partner/occupier of our ports. Instead, they threaten us with blackmail.

No, I think it is fair to call them hot-headed about this.
