No, I speak as someone who thinks the biggest problem with our China policy is that you people are piss ignorant of Chinese history, and in your ignorance, make some very bad assumptions.
The biggest driving force of Chinese foreign policy is maintaining her territorial sovereignty. They call the period between the Opium Wars and the Second World War/Second Sino-Japanese War "the Century of Humiliation", when foreign powers essentially abused China.
So when Americans whine about the Uighurs, or Taiwan, or Tibet, or Hong Kong, China sees that as an interference in her internal affairs.
Yes, by all means, let's start world war III over some crappy little Islands no one lives on in the South China Sea.
