However my main concerns with China is over it's poor human rights record, and especially the future of Tibet and Taiwan, both of which I'd like to see become independant. I'd probably like to go to China one day, but no matter what happens, my main interest will always be with Japan and their culture.

How would you enforce human rights in a very collectivist society that is totally different from the west? I used to live in South Korea and I never think that South Korea has a human rights; only by paper.
Tibet? Remember the Dorje Shugden controversy that regressed Dalai Lama into a religious dictator against his own followers? Dalai Lama has its own problems more than towards China. And let's not forget that Dalai Lama is still funded by CIA.
As for Taiwan? Just keep America away and everything will be fine.
China already become a world superpower without being very direct towards the world. It's because China doesn't necessarily need to be direct in the first place.
