That's a weird way of seeing it. Aside from the fact that a potential invasion of Taiwan from China is a threat to the whole world (you know, chip production and all), China is very much acting like a threat to the whole South and East Asia region. Let's see:

Japan: China keeps entering Japan's air space and keeps claiming that the international waters in the East China Sea are theirs, disrupting commerce with Taiwan and other Asian nations.
South Korea: China supports North Korea, which means that South Korea is against them full stop, and sees them as an existential threat.
Taiwan: no comment
Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia: China has been claiming the South China Sea as theirs for last few years, building military bases in these nations' sovereign waters on artificial islands and threatening their commercial activities in the region.

It'd be better if everyone just stays home and stops trying to invade other countries, and that also includes the US and Russia. Just stop, everyone go home, respect each other's waters and territories and trade. This fucking need to build an empire is fucking stupid.

potential invasion of Taiwan from China

you mfs have been saying for around 30 years that China will invade any second now. Why? They will probably only take actions if the US will deploy some serious weaponry or Taiwan will declare independence (what has implications for the former). The upcoming elections are in January and the US puppet DPP will loose. Why should China take any measures besides waiting, contrary, it will be probably the US who will ignite a color revolution or provoke a war until the elections.

China keeps entering Japan’s air space

Source? Whats the end game here to do that? Threaten one of your largest trading partners?

China supports North Korea, which means that South Korea is against them full stop

Again, any source? You mean more like the US, and the part of SK that is lobbied by the US? SK's largest trading partner is China, and China doesn't have any foreign policies saying they need to "contain" SK, that SK could use some democracy or that they will finance some opposition groups. Same with NK.

Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia: China has been claiming the South China Sea as theirs

This is known, but why is it concerning or a threat? Do you know that Philippines and Malaysia are forced to buy military equipment and hold US bases? Of course there will be some counter actions from China. And you equate the dispute over some maritime territory as an existential threat? Who is actually a threat to who?

Taiwan: no comment

Oh boy, wait until you find out about all the territorial claims (>20) the government of Taiwan has, your tiny beacon of freedom and democracy.

It’d be better if everyone just stays home and stops trying to invade other countries

Yes but people like you enforce US hegemony and presence in other parts of the world.

This fucking need to build an empire is fucking stupid

You probably only say that when non-Western countries try to have firm foreign politics decided by themselves. Also, if you imply that China is an empire, then give me a source. Something formal. Sure you will find some BBC or CNN opinion piece that says China will declare world domination any second now. But it is stupid to equate China's foreign politics with some concepts like the IMF, which gives loans if you privatize company X, remove party Y from upcoming elections, or put this or that person in your government. I don't see that China, together with its uprise, is forcing their ideology onto to other countries.
