  • Description: [...]ethnic nationalism has remained alive only among ethnic minorities along China’s frontiers, such as Tibetans and Mongols, who were denied the right to establish separate states, and therefore posed a serious threat to the unity of the multi-ethnic Chinese state.1 To a large extent, ethnic groups are the product of the PRC’s Ethnic Classification Project undertaken in the first years of the Fifties with the assumption that «backward» (luohou 落后) non-Han peoples required the CCP’s leadership and «advanced» (xianjin 先进) Han socialist culture. [...]of the Project, a total of 38 ethnic groups were recognized in 1954 (even if the names reported were more than 400). [...]even if the Chinese constitution defines China «as a unitary multi-ethnic State created jointly by the people of all its ethnicities» and promotes the values of equality, unity and harmony, in practice some of them, such as the Hui Muslims, but especially the Uyghurs in Xinjiang and the Tibetans in Tibet, are subject to discriminatory and repressive policies by the central government. According to the author, Chinese ideology in minorities nationalities is rooted in modern China’s quest for national integration and political authority, being political order a recurring theme of modern China after the disintegration of the traditional imperial Confucian political order (ibidem).
