#1 What law is it referring to?

#3 The EUSSR and it's dubious jurisprudence can't even differentiate between what is a right and what is a entitlement.

#4 Sure they can "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state - and WE are the state!"

#5 Why the surprise?

"All Under Heaven" is an old Chinese political concept.

Plus, the West has behaved like a finlandized joke for decades.

If the US & NATO kowtow before sh*tty, little, weak, poor and evil liberated Afghanistan why wouldn't they kowtow before less weak and less poor, big and evil China?

The reaction to 9/11 especially the Afghan intervention has made the West less secure by eroding deterrence and global respect.

#8 This would be China implementing "R2P" which legalized American bombing all over the globe.

How is it surprising that they are adopting successful techniques pioneered by Americans? Copying is what they do, and Chinese will never copy anything that's not successful.

#10 Unlike their round eye white brethren, they learned that didn't work or pay as well. So they opted for the one party national socialist model.

#11 I'm pretty sure they always thought they had it. At the very least, they have always acted like it.
