You literally can’t give any. Handwave “must be stopped” or “aighta be a law” all you want in your fantasyland of no consequences.

I’ll take a tour of things at the top of my head:

* North Korea: we have nada, nuke horse is out of the barn

* Taiwan: prop up the post-KMT status quo and hope for the best

* Hong Kong: nada

* Nine dashed line (S China Sea): pray Navy doesn’t get shot up and apologize if they do [0]

* Tibet: lost and forgotten neverland

* India: duking it out for itself

* Uighers: an “internal matter” Holocaust, see also Christians and the occasional Jack Ma

* Global Warmer: the former industrialized nations exported their industry and pollution to places like China, what are we going to do, pay them to produce the same stuff but not pollute? Could have done the same with internal industry instead of outsourcing

* Endangered species: slightly bright spot for some well loved species like rhino and elephant, too bad about the sharks and fisheries tho

* Industrial espionage: ok, there’s room for work that might not make things worse
