> 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.
