Han's ethnocentrism is vividly exemplified in China's 2001 Work Project under the CCP's Institute of Social Science to rewrite the history of three northeastern provinces: Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang that contain significant number of ethnic Korean population. In short, China claims that Koreans in these areas adjacent to Manchuria were of Han origin and their territories up to present day North Korea were part of Han Chinese territories, that ancient Korea was one of Han China's "regional satrapies. Remains of walled city at present-day Jian in Jilin province which was a part of ancient Korean kingdom of Koguryo has been reconfigured and retouched to underscore Chinese origin. The Half of Chonji Lake which used to belong to Korea as part of Mount Paektu along Korea-China border has been taken over by China since the end of Korean War. South Korean academics and government are now resisting this historical encroachment by launching their own historical research projects.
Applies not just to neighboring nations, but to anyone in the world who has a partly Han ancestry, such as the Swedish citizen who disappeared into the mainland some years ago.
Among acquaintances in Hong Kong who have children with at least one Han parent, all have now left for the West, regardless of anyone's nationality.
