What is Chinese Nation? Changing Narration of Ethnic Relations in Today’s China Since the ancient times the non‑sinitic folks caused fear and were an object of disdain among the Chinese. In the twentieth‑century China the concept of a “nation” has been included in the state doctrine. Last three decades has brought a significant change in policy towards minorities, who had been politically incorporated to a “Chinese Nation”. This process was accompanied with an arising of the phenomenon of the „internal orientalism”. The idea of the “Chinese Nation” is present not only in the Chinese political thought but also in the education system and pop culture.
