Of course they want to pass the bill, but it's a different matter to make it an official stance. In a recent interview on BBC, the Chinese ambassador to UK claimed that it wasn't the Chinese government's intention to formulate the bill. Had the Chinese government voiced support for the bill, it would be nearly impossible for its puppet government in HK to back down, even temporarily.
