I agree that China should be regarded as a particularly problematic country, but I would like the US to have a more comprehensive and introspective attitude. The US can stop the mutual bullying and take the high ground. That doesn't change the facts about China, but shifts in foreign policy and/or PR can at least give the US a better grounds as the primary opposing actor to China, if not incentivize China to change too.

I don't agree that a comprehensive attitude is appropriate. I have plenty of criticisms of US foreign policy, but China's plans for Taiwan are absolutely incomparable to any of them. There's quite a lot of diplomatic compromises that I think the US ought to make if they would secure Taiwanese independence, but right now the Chinese government are themselves completely unwilling to introspect or take a comprehensive attitude about it.
