Mainland-Taiwan issue is a civil war and thus can hardly be called 'imperialism'. On the other hand, the US presence in the region is.

  That civil war is long over, practically speaking. It is now China who is being imperial with it's neighbors and beyond, like the belt & road or the economic imperialism they are trying to affect in Africa and South America

    Military operations have long stopped but it is not over, like the situation in Korea is not over. In fact, the never-ending discussions about a potential invasion of Taiwan are nothing more than evidence that this is not over and may heat up again. This is rhetoric by the West to claim otherwise as a propaganda tool and 'divide and conquer' strategy against China. It's really quite something to claim that China is being imperial, not the US, when the US are the ones with military bases throughout the region, and the world, in heavily-dependent countries (whether this is 'good' or 'bad' is irrelevant, this is simply the reality)

      We have 1000s of years of history, wars, and imperialism to draw on. It is possible to evaluate the extent of China's imperialism without comparison to the US. Is China increasingly imperial? Is China engaged in tactics to undermine, divide, or conquer other countries and peoples? Is China expanding their military presence around the world? The answer to all three is yes

      What is wrong with Taiwan wanting and having independence?
