You are confusing survival mechanisms with love. Replace "man" and "woman" with "partner A" and "partner B".

You quite figuratively put words in my mouth. I'm not complaining about betrayal - I'm saying this isn't what love looks like.

You as a US citizen then do something that then provides a massive negative impact to all of China.
Have you betrayed your partner who has a strong allegience to China? (The answer is "Yes")
The answer is "No". Love places people above their country, their nation, and their families. Let's say I'm a CIA officer and she's a Chinese spy. If she demands I steal classified documents to save her country - that's manipulation. If my colleagues are about to arrest or possibly kill her and I risk everything to hide her - that's love. If I ask her to become a double agent to help the US fight Xi's regime - that's manipulation. If her mission was to infiltrate, use me to steal documents, and then eliminate me, yet she tells me everything and ends up on China's death list - that's love.
