At the time when the philosophers (Lao, Sun, and Confucius) xisted, China was NOT unified like you had stated. Other countries have slowed down their own progress as well, and China mainly has only slowed their process thanks to Western and Communist oppression. Other than that, yes, MODERN China has been more unified than other European countries, but the era you had referred to, featuring the philosophers? That was never a united China.
