I’m confused as to why this is unfriendly to mainland China. I suppose it may have something to do with China’s intense respect for history, but I’d love to hear someone more familiar weigh in on the subject.

I've heard, so take with a grain of salt, that China likes Chiang's ideology that China should be reunified.
The disagreement was who should be in power after.
The removal of the statues somehow indicates they don't want reunion.

That makes some sense, thanks.

Well no China has a strong attachment to positive history, the negative shit not so much.
