“It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country," he read. "This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.”
–Terry Pratchett, Jingo
Chinese government nowadays is just as fascist as Mussolini was back in the day. Revanchist and extremely nationalistic tendencies are strong. They think they are the future superpower and are salivating at the thought of oppressing the entire world under their yoke. I’ll take that they call “US hegemony” over the Chinese oppression any day, don’t need to think about it.

This may be optimistic but China has no route to take Taiwan. Any attempt would destroy their already shakey population due to one child policy. On top of that it would be the largest, longest distance and costly naval invasion attempt. I can go on and on at this point. Their energy would be better spent trying to be the USA of Asia.
hard to do that when their primary objective seems to be to piss off all their neighbours
