Abstract

Taking the withdrawal of the 2026 film The Battle of Penghu as a point of entry, this article explores the rise of Han nationalist ideology within Chinese society in the 2020s, and the increasingly prominent divergences in orientation between it and the officially led “Chinese nationalism (state nationalism).” The article analyzes the institutional roots of Han nationalism during a period of economic zero-sum competition, its contestation of historical narratives in the sphere of popular culture, and its comprehensive deconstruction of the official discursive system on core issues such as the definition of the nation, historical orthodoxy, and territorial legality.
