One of the most popular Chinese movies is “San Guo” or “3 Kingdoms”. This is historical fiction. There was a battle then just as there is still a battle now…in Taiwan.
From 1920 or so, a few groups, but mainly the CCP and the KMT (KuoMingTan) were battling for control of the mainland. The KMT lost, and so they fled to Taiwan. This battle is alive and well today.
In fact, rumor has it that Xi Jingping’s father whom served as the head of Canton wanted to secede in disagreement with Beijing and because there is still a history of Canton standing on its own.
China is fragmented still today.

Yeah but 92% of Chinese are Han.
Saying that a country of 1.5 billion people has inner conflicts is like saying that water is wet.
It doesn't mean anything actually other than they have a lot of history means a lot of conflicts. It happened everywhere.
Also if they can disagree, it means that there is some space for disagreement.
In Catalunya some believe they should be independent from Spain, in Italy some people in Sicily and other northern regions say they should be independent from Italy.
That doesn't make them any less culturally similar to the people around them.
