Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

Yes, it is imperialism. Also, China has an authoritarian state controlled by a privileged ruling class and is therefore far-right.
Was just about to say the same.
Authoritarian state-capitalism is not a leftist ideology.
Could you please provide us with some data regarding wealth inequality between citizens and politicians in China vs, say, the USA for comparison?
Since China carefully controls access to information, that’s functionally impossible but traditionally corruption by party officials in China was notorious and wide spread. China’s only recently been able to tackle it, partially thru advances in technology, but the true extent of their success is difficult to gauge. Critics have also argued that eliminating rivals and ensuring loyalty was the true purpose of anti-coruption efforts. It’s suspected that Xi Jinping’s extended family has amassed a hidden fortune of around a Billion Dollars.
