tfw "rules-based international order" means we're allowed to break those rules whenever we want but our enemies aren't allowed to do the same

They were missing some punctuation when the made that statement it should actually read “rules-based? International order!”

China never would have allowed these transfers to begin with. And if they did happen they would have been reversed with no recourse to the foreign investor. China has actually screwed foreign investors in a million different ways without any real response from the west.
