Tibet is a national issue for the Chinese. They believe that the nation of Tibet is part of the greater Middle Kingdom - and they are very put-off by any mention of their right of ownership.
To this point, a Chinese Nationalist Group called 'little pinks', has requested the Chinese government ban the movie 'The Matrix Resurrections' because its star, Keanu Reeves, supports Tibet House (a pro-Tibetan non-profit that supports the Dalai Lama - the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet).

Reeves isn't the first Hollywood star to be castigated for supporting Tibetan independence. Past actors have included Richard Gere and Brad Pitt.
The social wires were ablaze in China as the anti 'Matrix' movement went viral. Many Chinese, towing the 'little pinks' Communist line, expressed "shock and dismay" at Reeves saying they would quit being fans.
And so it goes. China is becoming annoying. For such a large and 'modern' nation to be this petty clearly demonstrates their thin skin when dealing with issues pertaining to their national aggression.
