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.
Communist China. If I win WW3 then my viewpoint becomes China's viewpoint. How did you win the mainland in the first place?
They experienced The Opium Wars- I didn't.
The Opium Wars taught China the toxic nature of western imperialism.
I am simply a neutral observer free of bias.
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.
