I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

    Cool.

    I’m glad their lives aren’t hell under their fascist regime.

    Most of the time when a country tries to make an ethnostate the main race get to live pretty good lives.

      Wild that you actually think China is a Han ethnostate. Are you the type to believe they are sterilizing their minorities?

        Cool, I didn’t even say Han and yet you knew what I meant.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Chinese#%3A~%3Atext=The+Han+Chinese%2C+alternatively+the%2C75%25+of+the+country's+population.

        The Han Chinese represent 91.11% of the population in China

        There are long running documented campaigns of cultural erasure of China’s minority groups. It’s no shocker that a country with billions of people they would use ethnic clensing to maintain social stability.

          I said Han because I am well aware that is the ethnic majority in China lmao. I’d love to see your sources for the ethnic cleansing.

          The ottomans had a stupid amount of ethnic minorities and managed to last for centuries. Ethnic and cultural diversity does not necessarily mean instability. Xinjiang and Tibet are autonomous regions for a reason.

              I literally did not argue for an ethno state but ok

              please see my other commment in thisn post about how much of that is bullshit. you do know wikipedia is primarily western and is going to reflect the biases of westerners and the claims of western governments right? As someone who is studying history in an official capacity as we speak it is laughable that you would use it as a source. it is legitimately especially egregious that you would use a western non-primary source to back up western claims about their largest geo-political enemy.
