oppurtunity areas

We have mid year appraisals(but no hikes) to review performance and progress. My manager made some sweeping statements
My more-than-one-hundred bug producing feature wasn't mentioned. He noted that it was a good contribution in the project overall and dint touch the specific feature as a subject.
At the same time, i had transitioned a whole project over to a china team. I hadn't written more than a few hundreds of lines of bug fixes for that project. But i transitioned. I knowledge-shared on open-source code. He thought that was ok performance.
I told him i ate snake in china for one month for the projects sake. He told he was a vegetarian. and he was in a village in ireland for 2 years. ok.
I told him several other things. He had noted down some opportunity areas. Business communication because I cant talk US times when i fix appointments. I confuse him cos i tried to explain things. so he goes on and on.

I opposed everything.
He accepted everything.

He removed all the negative feedback to which i had objected.

I had gone with an intention to fight. I wanted blood. There was no fight. He won by coolly saying ok to everything i said.

At the end, he said " you should take things more coolly, This is one other opportunity area.".
