one china principle is embraced by usa and literally all countries wanting to do business with china which is basically that taiwan is a part of china.   because they are very powerful and wants to shift influence around it rather than around usa like the establishment. they are also more authoritarian in many ways. but yes, you are right, a large part of the hate is just because of us vs them shit. china is literally feasting on the neo-liberal market while retaining protectionism so they can ensure they aren't exploited and are now looking to exploit others. usa is scared shitless of china because it might mean they need to compete against a superpower again which obviously will come with a lot of pain and concessions and they probably wish they could just make everyone not do that out of loyalty or fear rather than real hard benefits
