How true is this article? Anyone following Chinese internet? Does this kind of people really exist who want to takeover rocky mountains? I find it hard to believe.

I actually see the opposite in places like Chinese language reddit where there are many reverse anti-China nationalists who want to breakup China into pieces.
This article is full of rhetoric, but it doesn't contain any meaningful data. Has there been a rise in the number of Han-nationalist posts on Chinese social media? How many Chinese politicians are part of the "Imperial Han" faction and what are their names? The author doesn't even try to answer these questions.

This is my opinion on the matter. I use Chinese social media often and Chinese people are definitely becoming more patriotic, but Han nationalism is not popular at all. Most non-Chinese people don't understand that being a Han Chinese person in China is like being a white person in the United States of America. It's a large and incredibly diverse ethnic group united by a common culture. Many Chinese people have what I like to call a 大国心态. They're aware of the fact that they live in a large country filled with many different groups of people, all of which contribute to China's strength. China isn't an ethnically homogeneous country and it's never going to be one. That ship sailed thousands of years ago. On the other hand, countries with a 小国心态 are far more prone to ethnic nationalism.

This is like saying that young people in the US aren’t having more children because a huge number of them are really into furry porn and aren’t into regular acts with humans any more. Proof? Huge furry community on Reddit.

Hardcore han ethno-nationalist do exist, but they are both very few in number and also extremely scared of actually doing anything IRL. They only fight with mouth cannons online.

For example, can any of you think of a Chinese counterpart to Strelkov? You see any organized attempt at gathering volunteers to take part in the fighting in Kokang?
Yes, the Chinese invented the word Chaunvanism, we call outsiders as barbarian BUT at least we don't considered ourselves an Exceptional people or the Chosen One, that for every Chinese is over the top.

Okay, I do not believe this article means much or amounts to very much.

What is does show is two basic things, no more stock in the inventory, and all this American hyping of China invading Taiwan is all bullshit, a ploy to scare allies to tow the line. If China or North Korea is going to attack, then no such transfers would be possible.

Tbf Ancient Chinese were surrounded by steppe nomads to the north feudal age agrarian societies to east and southeast tribal communities in the south west and plateau herders to the west, When Chinese eventually met equally advanced civilizations like ancient India, Persia and Rome they were acknowledged as cultured.

All Biden is doing is romanticizing America as a Norman Rockwell painting. Hardly anyone lived as a Norman Rockwell painting. He's trying to rekindle those warm fuzzy feelings about America at a time when blacks were being lynched and civil rights were being denied. And then never follow through on promises because reality bites. Of course he has to promise big because Americans care about the superficial to cover-up the bad that was happening. Notice everything Biden said he wanted to improve on relations with China are going back to the ways things were? Nothing on the US end was going to change but he wanted China to buy what the US was willing to sell like US agricultural goods and Treasuries to help pay for US pork and wars abroad. Yeah the only money for the CHIPS Act doled out so far has been to a company that makes chips for the military because that's the only place where they will still need operating regardless of how more expensive their chips will be when China makes continuous semiconductor breakthroughs sending all Western chipmaking companies into a death spiral. The US knows that hence why not so much money has been given out. It will be just a big waste of money when that day happens. It was just a big show with no substance as usual.

The problem with Democrats is the only group they vie for and are in envy over that they want as supporters are the ones more likely to vote Republican. The reason why the Republican base is so loyal is because it's about only caring for what white people want. All the non-white Republican Presidential candidates talked about saving white people. Then the Democrats screw everyone else that do vote for them regularly. Look at how while running for President, Biden was big on reparations for African-Americans. After becoming President... not a word. Now he's losing that demographic of voters. The black vote is why he won. Even African-Americans know it's probably never going to happen but to be outright lied to blatantly in front of their faces... All the Democrats have is romantic nonsense.

It's these fake romantic notions you find in the West is the reason why they're failing in the world. Look at when the EU thinks they're the champions of all of humanity, somehow they think countries they place sanctions on are not suppose to retaliate. "Europe is a garden while the rest of the world is a jungle." That alone tells you how much more superior they think they are to everyone else. That's the kind of romantic bull that gets them into trouble.

And then look at the countries that fall for it. They think they'll have what the West has. And then look at all of China's neighbors where Americans will attack them on their streets for being Asian but they throw all in with them internationally all because they think that makes them at least more whiter than their neighbors. They'll suffer economically for it offending their bigger than the US customer. Look at Modi when he tries to romanticize India as being the true champion of the Global South and then literally overnight throws all-in with the West when Israel is attacked by the people they oppress and occupy.

Now you know why the West so much wants the world to embrace their values. Their values don't make you think straight and only serve their interests and no one else's all by the lure of promises they won't keep.
