This diversity is woven into the official narrative as part of one “Chinese nation” (中华民族, Zhōnghuá Mínzú): a collective identity that unites different peoples under the umbrella of a shared history, political framework, and future destiny.
China is not seen solely as a nation of uniform ethnicity, but as a broad family of peoples who, despite differences in language, religion, and custom, are part of the same overarching narrative.
