China: We thought we had some kind of morals or something, but then money.

Anyway, back to harvesting organs and disrespecting the sovereignty of other SE Asian nations...

Wow, that was amazingly quick. Xi giving up ground to a couple of freemium publishers skimming whales and children, lmao. If you are gonna commit, then commit. Make an example out of some of them or some other authoritarian nonsense.

It's a military strategy term. If you and I both have armies, and my army attacks your army, and your army retreats, then you would have been "routed", and I would have caused a "rout"

In the finance context of the headline here, it just means a financial market dip.

Or in other words, a financial "retreat" from the expected upward trajectory. Just to make the allusion to military terminology even more explicit.
