>they want China to play by the rules
Lel, you 'aving a laff mate?
Washington wants China to play by their rules, under which the US-as-single-world-hegemon statu quo will be preserved. That is, they want submission from China (and Russia and anyone else that could become a peer competitor)
>they are always going on about the rules based order
"rules-based international world order" is just euphemism for US hegemony
>The nine dash line, the island build-ups
It should not be surprising that they would endeavour to break from the encirclement that the US has been building around them
>Taiwan
Is a wholly Chinese affair. The real anti-commie taiwanese settlers who escaped to the island never wanted an independent state. They wanted China, a single China, including mainland and island. Same as the CCP. Chiang kai shek and the KMT would never have approved of the servile attitude now displayed by the globohomo acolytes in the island. 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
>the bellicose stance
Also known as responding to the US's bellicose stance
>this all goes against that
Against the hegemonic diktat
>if they had carried along in that manner they would actually would have been better off
I doubt it. My guess is that, had they never asserted their regional interests or "sphere of influence", they would have been much sooner encircled by US ballistic missiles and thereafter surely relegated to play a secondary role as "factory of the world" and little else. That may still happen, the reaction may have come too late, but they have at least a shot for something more
