While I agree that HK and Taiwan should be their own independently governed countries, I don't think the Chinese people see it that way. The propaganda is strong there, and they've probably been led to believe they HK and Taiwan are rogue provinces that have broken away or been wrested away from Chinese control by foreign powers.
Again, not saying I support that perspective, but you can't fault them when propaganda is the only thing they've been fed since birth.
