Good for you Germany! China turned Hong Kong, a highly respected democratic world class financial center, into just another commie city. Don’t let China destroy Taiwan too!

Why do people talk like foreign relations is like some interpersonal drama. They only “freak out” in so far as they affirm their current foreign policy.

Because it’s true. there’s so many examples of them freaky out over this. It’s comical. The most common phrase use is “they’ve hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.”

It feels like we're in that bit at the start of the superhero movies when they assemble the team.

By reducing what is actually an abstract set of relations - foreign policy and politics, to petty drama… like you said, another “chinese freakout” you play exactly into what the ccp wants, you do see this organisation, this policy as “the chinese people”.
