Why can’t they split the river in multiple parts with a small tributary for wildlife that meets up with the rest of the river downstream? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_bifurcation

They could have, it just didn't happen that way. And more than likely it's to late for that species anyways. It could still save others though

Do you maybe mean something like a fish ladder?

Serious question here - not starting a flamewar. Are there any real organizations in China with power that protect the ecosystem and animals there? From an outsider it seems like they just build whatever they want without any concern for the environment they live in which ultimately will do significant damage to their own human population after the environment collapses and can't support them.
