Han chauvinism is a political 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]

The constitution of the People's Republic of China officially opposes "Han chauvinism" and "local ethnic chauvinism". The latter refers to nationalism based on the anti-Han sentiment or separatist nationalism of ethnic minorities in China.
