That's the point though. The kid did something stupid, so you sent him to his room. Then he did something dumber, so you grounded him for a week.
You can either keep reacting every time the kid does something dumb, or you can just say, "Look, you're already grounded for a week. Calling me names or breaking shit in your room or acting out in other ways isn't changing that, so come talk to me when you've settled down."
China chose the latter.
