Probably because of the shit China would be forced to do in response.
Instead they just park a carrier group nearby as don't say they are there to observe. We all know what will actually happen, but its not been said so China can save face.
Word it the other way, “we’re the official country we’ve always been, but if those upstarts on the mainland want to secede then fine, we’ll let them”
Either way it’s just propaganda phrasing.
