    You can just call him a nationalist or a patsoc. The rhetoric he espouses isn’t any different from Chinese nationalists of other ethnicities, and from his videos it’s clear he cares about preserving minority culture/ is proud of its preservation. The few “Han nationalists” that exist live in the US or Taiwan and have a intense hatred for the mainland/the CPC and tend to be very pro-US (they both share the goal of a balkanizing China based off of ethnicity).

      I gotta heavily disagree with the idea of him being no different than any other nationalists.

      He’s said before that only the Han Chinese are “smart” enough to have a successful country as China, and he believes that “full communism” is just as bad as full capitalism. I will admit maybe his views have changed and I could be wrong, and he’s definitely not pro US. But he is/was very homophobic, and the bad kind of nationalist.

      There are a noticeable amount of Han chauvanists in China as well. The CPC and most of the Chinese population don’t agree with them though, thankfully.
