China cares about Unity. American coins are minted with a Latin saying "e pluribus unum", which means "Out of many, one". It's a reminder that there were 13 colonies that united to become one. Hence the name the "United States of America". China and America are alike in that they value unity. The difference is that America has never lost a territory whereas China lost two: Taiwan to Japan and Hong Kong to Britain. In the process the people in Taiwan and Hong Kong who valued Chinese culture were killed by the Japanese and British and the ones who remain went along with the new regime to survive. China is trying to reclaim their land and people. But unlike the Japanese and British, they don't want to reclaim it with force/violence because the people of Taiwan and Hong Kong are Chinese. Instead they are looking for a more agreeable path towards re-integration. But honestly, it would be easier to do what Japan did to Taiwan b/c then the protests would end quickly and all you'd be left with are people who are outwardly compliant. It's a tricky situation and the western world is really playing it up to make China look like the bad guy while ignoring how Taiwan and HK were taken over to begin with. Reminds me of how foreign powers split up Korea and Vietnam into North and South. After dividing these countries up they became weak. Hence the importance of unity. China doesn't want to make the same mistake.
