The next weird Trump move. It's telling how similar autocrats act across the globe. China has been playing the same 'name games' with its neighbours and in the wider Indo-Pacific Region for decades, and Xi Jinping has been increasing such activities in recent years.

A recent example: China has just officially mapped Russian Far East sites with Chinese names. It's another sign that Beijing isn't a reliable partner - not even for a like- minded dictatorship.

I would copy China too, they're the only ones still in touch with reality therefore have an actual shot at getting everything they want. Trump all but seals it. They don't even have to do anything shady, just get out his way and continue to appear isolationist to the casual observer.
