Again China is a single country, with a single, unfied government with almost complete control. Europe is a continent with dozens of governments, each of which has several different waring party's.
Now China isn't this invincible beast that is completely unified in everything they do as the CCP would like you to believe, but they are vastly more unified than Europe or even the US.

You clearly misunderstood my point.
China is only a country RIGHT NOW, it historically is not
Europe is Ethnically diverse, So is China, especially in the Sothern half, but yes the norther half is 100% Han (minus the Mongolians and Manchurians of course) China also has dozens of languages although the CCP has quashed everything but the Han ethnicity and Mandarin language for decades, and of course other Dynastys dominating from the north have as well.
Historically outside of a few unified periods China has been a collection of states not a single entity, Just as sometimes Europe has for short periods been ruled by continent spanning Empires.
Its fine you can pretend there has been some sort of consistent line of state coherence across Chinese history but tat simply isn't the reality. And likely the same pressures that prevent China from being unified in the past will happen again in the future.
