Han Nationalism is rooted in racial supremacy.
It's explicitly been pushed as the People and the Culture being inseparable, and the Culture being superior. That is the same "don't say the ipso facto part" that white supremacy uses to whitewash its bigotry too:
"It's not 'white nationalism, it's Christian nationalism, but not like, all Christians, just the white ones, but it's totally definitely not white nationalism!"
I think it's instructive that all 3 superpowers of the 20th and 21st centuries (and certainly most that I can think of historically) have a history of racial supremacy and nationalism, and engaging in genocide.
I think you don't do the stuff that gets you to be a superpower without it. Hence, why I assert that ALL superpowers are immoral.
The only purpose in trying to argue for a hierarchy between them is to lessen the impermissibility of one. They are impermissible, period.
