The USA are not party to the ICC treaty, simple as that.

The Chinese are not a party to the ICC treaty (the OP article above even mentions this, they are just "establishing ICC jurisdiction" e.g. coming up with an excuse for hostile actions toward China)

It's a little more interesting than that. The US has indicated it would invade if its servicemembers were prosecuted.
The act is colloquially referred to as The Hague Invasion Act.

He's not a single witness, they used the term "key witness" (whatever that means). This is hardly news, there is just more detail that this person will hopefully testify on.
