Your last point is salient and I think lost on many westerners who have not studied Chinese history.

Chinese civil wars (for lack of a better term to capture the sheer scale and complexity) have had body counts that make the American Civil War look like a drunken bar fight.

And, there is a history of advantage being taken of China during its civil wars. It hasn’t forgotten any of that, and it’s in the National psyche as something that needs to be balanced in the future.
