  In both cases, it’s being called a “challenge” because they have already capitulated.

  If so, then go to the posts critical of the US here and comment that “everything they say about the US could also be said about China.”

    There are plenty of political figures saying we should call China the enemy, very few that openly say we should call the USA an enemy.

    That’s not my point though, because you could also say it about other countries (Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc), the fact is dealing with countries that do things we consider shitty is a basic part of geopolitics, unless you want to start a war on twelve fronts.
