Regarding the acquisition of territory under duress, China has a vastly stronger case against Russia than Russia has against Team USA. Please see...

Unequal treaty
en.wikipedia.org

Unequal treaty refers to treaties signed with Western powers during the 19th and early 20th centuries by Qing Dynasty China and late Tokugawa Japan after suffering military defeat by the foreign powers or when there was a threat of military action by those powers. The term is also applied to treaties imposed during the same time period on late Joseon Dynasty Korea by the post-Meiji Restoration Empire of Japan.

Amur Annexation (1858-1860)
en.wikipedia.org

The Amur Annexation refers to the annexation of the southeast corner of Siberia by Russia from China in 1858–60. The two areas involved are the Priamurye between the Amur River and the Stanovoy Range to the north and the Primorye which runs down the coast from the Amur mouth to the Korean border. Note that this does not include Sakhalin Island.

*****

Thus, by pure diplomacy and only a few thousand troops, the Russians took advantage of Chinese weakness and the strength of the other European powers to annex 350,000 square miles (910,000 km2) of Chinese territory. With the exception of Muravyov's rather ceremonial cannonade at Aigun, they had apparently not fired a single shot.

Treaty of Aigun (1858)
en.wikipedia.org

The Treaty of Aigun (Russian: ????????? ???????; simplified Chinese: ????; traditional Chinese: ????; pinyin: Àihún Tiáoyue) was an 1858 treaty between the Russian Empire, and the empire of the Qing Dynasty, the sinicized-Manchu rulers of China, that established much of the modern border between the Russian Far East and Manchuria (the original homeland of the Manchu people and the Qing Dynasty), which is now known as Northeast China.[1] It reversed the Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) by transferring the land between the Stanovoy Mountains and the Amur River from China (Qing Empire) to the Russian Empire. Russia received over 600,000 square kilometres (231,660 sq mi) from China[2][3]
