Chinese unification

Chinese unification refers to the historical process of consolidating various territories and cultures into a single nation, primarily relating to the dominance of the Han ethnic group and the establishment of a unified Chinese state. This concept gained prominence with the Qin dynasty in 221 BCE, when China transitioned from feudal states to a centralized empire. Over centuries, this unification faced challenges, including internal divisions and foreign invasions. Today, discussions of unification often involve Taiwan, which operates independently but is claimed by China. The topic embodies complex issues of identity, governance, and international relations.
