Just recognizing HK and Taiwan as separate countries from China would be big.

Hong Kong is currently about as much a separate country from China as Puerto Rico is a separate country from the US.
Taiwan is another thing.

the HK protests aren't about creating a separate sovereign country, it was largely about an extradition bill and has now grown somewhat to include ousting the current "chief executive" among other things.
