Oh please. Everyone hates the PRC.
If you win the war everyone is going to be complaining for the next 300 years saying the US should have won. Because you're going to be impoverished by a tyrannical one-party state that arrests you for posting memes. You lose either way.
Its not a question of love or hate- its a question of the ability to project power.
It is not a question of what 'should' happen but what will happen.
Your wishful thinking does not protect you from history.
I attempt to prepare you for reality.
Brace yourself.
Projecting power to what end? You're fighting to keep China tyrannized and poor. Communism is bad.
You ask 'Projecting power to what end?'
500 years of western imperialism is what the Chinese are responding to.
Trumps subservience to Zionist 'Greater Israel Project' in the war on Iran for example.
Great western powers have underpinned their trade and resource hegemony with naval power and control of shipping routes.

Why is western imperialism bad? If Taiwan is a victim of imperialism and the mainland is resisting it, then apparently the West has been a positive influence, because your side of the strait is an absolute disaster.
'Why is western imperialism bad?'
It probably depends on your perspective.
Chinas experience of The Opium Wars may have influenced their viewpoint.
It's not China's viewpoint. It's your viewpoint. If Taiwan is accepting arms sales from the United States, then obviously not everyone in the Chinese speaking world shares your opinion. I'm inclined to believe this is more of a Soviet-manufactured sob story than a real grievance that would justify bombing Taiwan today. Typical communist victim narrative.
No it is Chinas viewpoint.
They experienced The Opium Wars- I didn't.
I am simply a neutral observer free of bias.
'Little cargo moves on U.S.-flagged ships today. With a broken industrial base, America produces very few oceangoing commercial vessels and has struggled to expand its approximately 290-ship navy. Programs to build frigates, extend the lives of aging cruisers and operate a large fleet of littoral combat ships have foundered.
A recent Navy Department report said that although the shipbuilding budget has doubled over the past two decades, America has no more naval ships now than in 2003. U.S. adversaries meanwhile “built fleets at a pace not seen in generations,” it said.'
China won the trade war - USA loses military hegemony.
