If he were to bomb a nuclear facility in Stockholm that then experienced a catastrophic meltdown, but for some reason the residents supported the action against them, would it be called the China Stockholm Syndrome?
While the antipodes of China include Argentina with its Atucha Nuclear Power Plant the phrasing is metaphorical; there is no way a core could penetrate the several-kilometer thickness of the Earth’s crust, and even if it did melt to the center of the Earth, it would not travel back upwards against the pull of gravity. Moreover, any tunnel behind the material would be closed by immense lithostatic pressure.
He’s going to bomb Stockholm next.

You need to explain that “China” part in there for me. I understand the Stockholm part of the joke, but not the other one.
