I really don’t know much about it, but I think the Han identity is similar to whiteness in the US, right? A coalition of groups that not that long ago would not have considered themselves the “same.” The Chinese govt seems to consider constructing a unified Chinese identity pretty important, maybe anticipating that once they start failing to make the standard of living gains they’ve made over the past decades ethnic tensions could be destabilizing?
