world today. One of these conflicts includes the conflict between the Uighurs and Han Chinese. This conflict has been occurring within the Xinjiang region for many years now. The Xinjiang region is located within China in the upper west side of the state. In 1775 the Qing dynasty had a region of various Turkic, Mongol, and Chinese groups under control. The Xinjiang Province became the first establishment of the Chinese Imperial in 1884. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 the Xinjiang province

occurring in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region amongst the Uyghurs and the Han-Chinese, stems from the conflict and debate between the Uyghurs and the People Republic of China (PRC) in 1975. According to Gardner Bovington, there is a diverging perspective on the history of Xinjiang; to the Chinese historical perspective, in 1795, once the “Qing general conquered the vast territory […it became] an integral piece of Chinese national territory” (Bovington 2). While to the Uyghurs, such concurring of

the ethnic identity of Uyghurs still exists, after decades of state-sponsored repression. Why do the Uyghurs vehemently oppose Han Chinese integration? Why has the CCP taken unprecedented steps to forcibly assimilate ethnic Chinese Muslims? The creation of a nationalist Han Chinese identity grounded in an atheist communist state in 1949 engendered conflicts with Chinese ethnic Muslim minorities, due to failed coercive integration and assimilation efforts and socioeconomic policy. After the annihilation

colonies are Han Chinese who came from China. Han Chinese make up the overwhelming majority of the current population in Taiwan. Taiwan was also a colony of Japan after “Japan, undertaking massive military expansion in the footsteps of European empires, defeated the Ching Empire with their modern weapons” (Wang, Hsiu-Huei 15). Taiwan was later “returned” to China after the Sino-Japanese War. The Aborigines who first populated Taiwan seemed to gradually diminish over time as the Han Chinese took over

Multicultural Assignment Han Chinese is the largest ethnic group not only in China but also worldwide. It is estimated that 1.16 billion people are of Han nationality. Therefore, this means that Han Chinese make up 20% of the world’s population (NCCIH, 2013). As a result, Han Chinese culture has had a significant impact throughout the world and their culture has spread throughout the world particularly in Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, North America and Europe. The Han Chinese people rely predominately

Empires that existed during the third century B.C.E. were the Roman and Han Empires. These two empires were similar, as their authorities invoked supernatural sanctions to support their rule and invested heavily in public works such as roads, bridges, and protective walls. The falls of the Roman and Han Empires were more similar than different. Before these empires existed, Rome was a center of a big imperial state which eventually became a republic. Meanwhile, China was under the rule of the Qin

Both the Romans and the Han Dynasty Chinese had a lot in common even though they lived thousands of miles apart, but had many differences as well. Both civilizations lasted hundreds of years and accumulated each a population of more than fifty to sixty million inhabitants. While the two developed around the same time frame they spoke different languages, had different governments, and different ways of living. Their main way of food was agriculture. Both great civilizations had perfected the ways

6 Han Purple – A Mystifying Chinese Pigment We all use organic dyes which brighten of lives for a few years and then fade away. Han purple is a 2800 year old pigment, artificially prepared by the Chinese (Link 6-a), which still retains its charm. This pigment was found on the glass-beads worn by the rich and the famous, ceramic utensils, wall paintings and on the statues of famous Terracotta Warriors. It was used most extensively during Han’s Dynasty, hence the name. This pigment requires a combination

first heard about the Han nationalism that excluded all the non-Han Chinese, he could not understand the logic behind it. In order to rebut the revolutionaries, he wrote a long article to the Chinese Business Association in America to explain the ideas of ethnic sovereignty and cultural attitude. In this article, he had three major points about the Chinese identity. First, Kang felt that promoting Han nationalism was “the weirdest thing in the world” because the Manchus and Han had already formed “a
