Well of course any nation would want that, particularly as the status quo works so well for them, they don't want a power to threaten them, no nation does.
> "rules-based international world order" is just euphemism for US hegemony
Not really it's a euphemism of the status quo if anything, they just don't want conflict or anybody to rock the boat. Of course they want to keep their position too but nations like Australia, France, Japan and the UK don't care so much about that and just want the situation to stay as it is.
> It should not be surprising that they would endeavour to break from the encirclement that the US has been building around them
Well as I have said that was a terrible way to go about it and only hurts their cause. Illegally claiming the area they have has only made the rest of the world see them as a nation that is rocking the boat and threatening the status quo and they don't like that and it has created a reaction, all they are doing is created an even tougher encirclement around them. There were far better ways to go about this for them.
> They wanted China, a single China, including mainland and island.
Of course they did, why would they not?
> Chiang kai shek and the KMT would never have approved of the servile attitude now displayed by the globohomo acolytes in the island.
Uhh... I'm not sure if you know this but Chiang Kai Shek was in control of Taiwan until 1975. Not only does he approve of it but he was the one that started it in 1950 and was doing it himself for 25 years. The alternative is to be part of the CCP.
> The "1 China 2 systems" stalemate was even accepted by the US, until they realized that China was rapidly growing from little more than a low-cost industrial park for their private sector into an actual competitor, and Obongo announced the "pivot" to Asia-Pacific
They still accept it, it's convenient for them.
> Also known as responding to the US's bellicose stance
Well no, the US isn't the one using wolf warrior diplomacy and claiming islands in the south China sea and making such laws. The US is only acting more aggressive and making these alliances because of Chinese actions.
> Ruffling feather was indeed inevitable, nobody expected the US to simply accept a multipolar world
They probably would not have, but the UK would, France would, Australia would, Japan would. Australia had actually dissolved Quad because they wanted to work with China, it's only because China has been acting like it has and showing that it does not want to keep things as they are and that it wants to threaten international water ways and trade. China is our biggest trading partner and for a long time the rhetoric in this nation was the same rhetoric you have now, many accepted that China was a historic power and would be power again and wanted to work with her.
> Lol, sure the Exceptional Empire, from all the way over here in North-America-and-northern-Atlantic, can lay claim to influence the whole Asia-Pacific region, but an actual Asian country cannot possibly have interests in its own neighborhood
Well these nations profit greatly on trade and many have colonial interests in the region, you conventionally ignored Japan and South Korea as well. They want things to stay as they are.
