Among the questions on which Chinese nationalists have disagreed is what policies would lead to a strong China, what is the structure of the state that is the goal, what should the be relationship between China and foreign powers, and what should be the relationships between the majority Han Chinese, minority groups, and overseas Chinese.
Since the mid-1860s, Chinese nationalistic thought has asserted that the bulk of the population whose languages belong to the Sinitic linguistic family, despite their differences in terms of geography, customs and social organizations, should view themselves as a monolithic "Han" nationality.
The official Chinese nationalistic view in the 1920s and 1930s was heavily influenced by modernism and social darwinism, and included advocacy of the cultural assimilation of ethnic groups dominated by the Han state into the "culturally advanced" Han state, to become in name as well as in fact members of the "Zhonghua Nationality".

 Zhonghua Minzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhonghua Minzu (Traditional Chinese: 中華民族; Simplified Chinese: 中华民族; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínzú), is a Mandarin Chinese term that in modern China, describes a notion of a "Chinese nationality" transcending ethnic divisions- in other words, a civic "nationality" as opposed to an "ethnic" one, with a central loyalty to China as a whole.
Many hold that this concept was introduced by Chinese nationalists to justify the political integration of various ethnic groups of China.
Even greater difficulty arises when considering groups like the Manchu, whose cultural identity is very distinct from that of the Han Chinese yet whose history has been tightly intertwined with that of the Chinese state and nation and can hardly be divorced from this relationship with China in the minds of most observers.

What is encouraging is that the majority of Chinese nationalists and unificationist also do not object to the idea of using plebiscite for solving critical national issues despite their fear that the majority of the people might vote for Taiwan independence in a plebiscite.
