It's funny how China has spent the last sixty or so years letting the US run wild (And indeed aiding the US imperial project at times) not getting in the way, and minding their own business and the US has just been getting so fucking mad about it. Literally the problem here is that China succeeds on the terms the US set out without becoming a US vassal

Chinese to English translation can be a little tough.

If the original quote used 绽 (zhàn) the word means split, burst, or rip/tear depending on context.
