Why people in the west care about this territorial conflict.

It is clearly a strategic conflict for USA and allies to keep China at distance and reduce their ability to move further.

But for people to keep talking about it like it is a ( good vs evil ) feels like propganda by USA military or something.

If we imagine a world where china without Nuclear weapons, so Nato can stop them anytime, I dont think the USA media will care about them.

Because a global power engaging in aggressive colonialism is bad - even when it’s not the US doing it.

You think the USSR, DPRK, and so on are any different? What definition of communism are you using, my dude?

I’d we’d like to talk about genocides in countries that don’t say they’re communist? There’s the Holocaust, ^Armenia, ^^Rwanda, ^^^Bangladesh, ^^^^Romania, ^^^^^Greece, ^^^^^^Assyria, ^^^^^^^Serbia/Croatia, ^^^^^^^^Chechnya

Why shouldn’t we care about the land and people they said they’d take by force if need be? Really?

It’s pretty clear that having a strategic partner in that part of the world is a net positive for western counties. Also Taiwan supplies a huge fraction of our computer chips.

That they managed to utterly dominate the chipmaking market and use that as a leverage to make allies was a real master move. The pandemic and the whole supply chain troubles giving a wake up call that “all eggs in one basket” is bad sure got them worried, tho.

Because Taiwan makes most of the computer chips we use, and the US definitely has a vested interest in China not obtaining that knowledge.
