Technically, the "Chinese" are not a single solitary race.

China's population is made up of several ethnic groups mixing Han, Manchu, Korean, Viet, Mongolian, Tibetan, Turkic, etc. blood.

Han is the majority group making up about 90% but there are at least 50 other officially recognized ethic groups.

Think of how many types of native peoples there were/are in North and South America.

Same thing in China, they look different, and speak different languages.

China is an ancient empire/nation of various peoples.

If you called the Chinese a race, then you have to include all native people in Japan, Korea and far eastern Russia because they also fit into what we can call the larger East-Asian race.

There are also minority ethnic groups whicn are not Han Chinese. The government itself considers them minorities.

Yes, there are many minorities and they have full rights as citizens of China.

Sometimes Han Chinese will discriminate against them but these minorities are protected by special laws and sometimes given additional rights or opportunities.

For example, special universities are available for them and during the times of the one child policy era, some minorities were allowed to have more than one child.

The problem for some minorities is that some of these groups have lower average group IQs and sometimes their cultural values differ significantly from the majority of Chinese (eg. Islam). Finally, because China wants to have one nationwide language; nationwide, schools use “PuTongHua” (what we call Mandarin, they call the standard language) and so minority languages are pushed to the side.

It's a race of people. Look at what they did to tibet, and uighurs. It will keep a monolithic society

Doing the DNA analysis, there are three major races; black, white & asian.

Then you get a bunch of ethnicities. If you want to called them sub-races, fine.

China is dominated by the HAN sub-race/ethnicity and the so-called “Chinese” language, Mandarin is called PuTongHua (The standard language).

There are several other languages spoken by millions in China and they all use Chinese characters slightly differently.

Food from China is Chinese

And people from China are Chinese but Chinese are not one race, it is a place and a collection of peoples and cultures.

PS: I LIVE HERE.

Chinese often accuse white people of being racist because they know most whites don’t want to labeled as racist.

Chinese people, however, are usually racist as fuck and will straight out say they don’t want black African people in China.
