Bored of you so I am just going to correct a few points here.
No, actually they don't. China does have some thousand or so short- to medium-range ballistic missiles, but that is their entire arsenal and it is not all aimed at Taiwan. It is divided between the seven military regions, which does mean that hundreds of ballistic missiles would probably be in range of Taiwan. That does not mean they are aimed at Taiwan, only that they could be aimed at Taiwan.
Well, any country has the right to build up its defensive systems and any country has a right to protect its citizens overseas. I find it weird that you think India has this right and legitimate defensive purposes but somehow China cannot have either.
Oh now that's bull****. If you actually believe that then this suggests you do not even understand certain basic facts about the geopolitics of the region.
Ummm, the Chinese have more than 1000 missiles pointed at us.

Why does China have the 'right' to build up its military to protect its business interests in Africa.

The desire of many in Japan to amend its Constitution is in RESPONSE to China's buildup.
