These would actually make China a country I could support, but currently: no, thank you.

Do you really believe that China's 1.3 billion people would be better off if the country just switched itself to American styled "democracy"? Look at who our democracy just elected.
And only because the US democracy is going the way of Poland and Hungary and it is close to fail in Turkey doesn't mean it will fail everywhere.
Taiwan has a democracy, South Korea just ousted their president because of allegation that she is corrupt.
You guessed it, don't like China? Nobody gives a damn.
Taiwan is a defacto independent country for 60+ years now and until the 1970s, the Republic of China was China. It is time that the relationship between those two countries find a way to recognize each other. West and East Germany reached this in the early 1970s, See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Treaty,_1972
Btw, the US opened itself to Cuba again. Way too late, way too slow. The embargo on Cuba did nothing against the regime. Embargos rarely work.
This isn't about if I like China or not. It was an idea how China could improve its imagine, by actually improving. Recently I heard Chinese scientists complaining, that the censorship in China is preventing research.
