In Arabic we have a saying يجيبك الموز يا قرد “the bananas will make you come back oh monkey”. The monkey here being the US and the bananas are the hope that China will solve the problems it starts.

There's a Polish saying that translates to "Not my circus, not my monkeys" which means if someone else causes a problem, it isn't my job to try and fix it for them. That also seems appropriate here.

There's an old Chinese saying from google translate that goes something like 不是我的问题
