      what’s the equivalent of sending some marines to shit all over the forbidden city? china should do that, since that’s a completely fair way to handle trade disputes in a rules based international order.

        I think China should take over the UK port city of London for a few decades (more than 150 years seems fair) and efficiently provide hormone replacement therapy to everyone in the UK from there while they’re at it. London can be communist and the rest of the country can have whatever system it deems most appropriate.

          Get some permanent presence and military bases on the isles of Wight, Man and Jersey (especially Jersey since significant chunk of chinese exports to Europe goes through there). This would also help to guarantee the independence and territorial integrity of Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
