Ethnocentric attitudes among ethnic Han within China
This article is about ethnocentric attitudes among ethnic Han within China. For a nationalistic attitude among ethnic Han Chinese, see Han nationalism. For the diplomatic system and the ideology that emphasized China's centrality in the world, see Sinocentrism. For a form of nationalism that asserts that all Chinese people, including ethnic minorities, are a nation, see Chinese nationalism.
Han chauvinism is an ideology that speaks out for the ethnic Han Chinese people and its uniqueness throughout human history. Han chauvinists believe that the current influence from the West has downgraded the development of China's own cultural customs, and in response, it has become instrumental in leading the increasingly traditionalist movement, which was launched in 2001. Participants come together both online and in person in cities across China to revitalize their vision of the authentic “Great Han” and corresponding “real China” through traditional ethnic dress and Confucian ritual.[1][2]
