They have been unified 1 million times already.

That is, in fact, exactly what the person you responded to was saying. You just chose to take a knee jerk interpretation and assume that's what they meant.

That first comment is saying that China had a unified political institution for thousands of years, the other guy corrected by saying it was fractured, then the other other guy says it fractured and unified a number of times.

None of you agree on any of it.
