Is this like a formal political denouncement? Or just a finger wagging?

But why? It's only serving to isolate the US. I'd be leaning right into it with the trolling -
"No, no, this is great, continue, please... this is working out REALLY well for you."
- That's exactly what China is doing though. This is classic reverse psychology. USA hasn't even got a single trade deal, this is just China reminding everyone how stupid USA threats are.

South Korea is part of the global south?
- South is right in the name. And that's why North Korea is a member of NATO.
