It's absolutely an internal matter but I'd still like to see a peaceful conclusion. That said it would be really funny if China did just pull a US and kidnap their president to take over it only for all the liberals to then cry and blame Trump for setting a bad precedence. Of course that would never happen though and they would immediately pivot their talking points back to China bad.

A peaceful conclusion is certainly preferable.

only for all the liberals to then cry and blame Trump for setting a bad precedence.

Liberals are unable to do this. The creation of Kosov and the preceeding illegal bombing campaign on Jugoslawia set the precedent for Russias actions in Ukraine. Libs are mighty silent about this fact.
