Why? It would be wonderful if the US government minded its own business. The southern border is being bum rushed by tens of thousands of invaders. The US government is interested in meddling in a China/Hong Kong internal issue. Just as with the intramural battling in Syria and the interminable inter-group fighting in Afghanistan it is not our business.

Because their business is our business. Countries are not autarkies. You can’t hunker down in your bunker and pretend that the world is one of unicorns and rainbows. You think Switzerland would have remained independent if either the Nazis or the Soviets had conquered the rest of the continent? WWII was obviously an extreme case, but merely funding China’s internal opponents is a fine way of keeping an adversary tied up in knots. The Chinese certainly have no problems getting into our business.
