The "rules based global order" was always a bullshit farce: just a term meant to invoke the legitimacy of actual international law without any implication that the US and it's allies would stop acting like lawless thugs.
Yeah, the global hegemon can always do a "rules for thee, not for me" thing. It's like trying to fine a king for a parking violation.
