Han nationalism

Han nationalism refers to a belief or movement emphasizing the cultural, racial, or political dominance of the Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in China. It often involves promoting Han identity, history, and interests, sometimes at the expense of minority groups. This nationalism can manifest as pride in Han heritage, advocating for policies that prioritize Han culture, or asserting the superiority of Han traditions. While it aims to unify Han people, it can also lead to tensions, discrimination, or conflicts with China's numerous ethnic minorities.
