It isn't a question of preferential treatment you silly goose? Try to apply for Chinese citizenship without being ethnically Han Chinese.
Is that a rhetorical question? They recognise multiple "chinese" ethnic groups. They just give preferential treatment to the most loyal ones, which right now is the hans.
By their standards, you probably don't cut it, and those are the standards that matter. Kill as many ethnic Han as you want if being Han is still a prerequisite for citizenship it's an ethnostate.
It's not, and even if it were it doesn't demonstrate loyalty towards the hans on the part of the state.
Tiananmen isn't germane to the question.
I disagree. If a group can become class enemies who deserve death the moment the wind changes then the state has no loyalty to them. The loyalty model of China is purely one-way.
Have you ever been to China? In the last seventy years, there have been maybe a few hundred naturalizations these people were foreigners that demonstrated value to the party. Receiving Hokou as a non-Han is difficult enough and that's in addition to receiving your ID card. Once that happens you can call yourself a de facto resident but that's not citizenship. They are actively discouraging breeding among minorities while encouraging breeding in Han populations. No Tiananmen is not, you have this retarded notion that communistic societies can't be ethnocentric. They can and just because they kill a few thousand of their own people it doesn't suddenly change that especially when you have hundreds of millions to work through.
Ethnocentric regimes are loyal to their ethnic group. This means they will always favour that ethnic group no matter what, even if it hurts the regime. Communist regimes use ethnic groups as pawns. One day that means they favour one, the next they favour another. That decision is based purely on pragmatism, not loyalty.
A good example of this would be Lenin, who used the Russians to gain power, but planned to transfer the capital of his new socialist empire to Berlin if he gained power in Germany, as he preferred Germans. Stalin is another example, he was initially Russocentric, but later began showing preference to non-russian minorities in order to expand his powerbase and buy loyalty.
Up until now it has been in the PRC's interest to show preference to ethnic hans, but that's beginning to change. Already they're internally virtue signalling about the importance of migrants and anti-racism. They know that the price of han labour is going to rise, but they don't want to make the mistake of outsourcing like the US did, so they're going to have to engage in population replacement to retain industrial power.
