You're mad that the US is acting in it's own best interest?

It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me personally. They force other countries to have maximally free trade with the world bank/IMF, then abandon those ideals the moment they aren’t convenient for the US. I think it’s reasonable for the US to act in their interest, but it should also be reasonable for every other nation to do the same, even if it means not having the same property laws as the US wants

The US has the influence to force other countries to act in the US's best interest as well. It's pragmatic.

No. I am really intrigued as why the Taiwanese people can't see what their comprador elite is doing.
It's the HN (reddit, etc) zeitgeist, sadly.
