 Zhonghua minzu
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.
The boundaries of who is or is not a member of Zhonghua minzu have always been somewhat fuzzy and rather inconsistent and have changed from period to period.
The roots of Zhonghua Minzu dates from the fact that China was the dominant political power in East Asia for several thousand years, and that during much of the period, the notion of "Chineseness" was defined more in civilizational and cultural terms than in racial ones.

That is, to the CCP's leadership and their representatives, the Mongols appeared to live almost exclusively in their own historic and well-defined territory, to use primarily their own language, to practice nomadic pastoralism in contrast to agriculture, and to possess a relatively homogeneous culture marked by common folkways such as food, music, horsemanship, and wrestling.
Mirroring Stalin's reversal of the right of secession for "minority nationalities," the CCP proclaimed the indivisible unity of China (by which they meant the entire territory of the former Qing empire) and the responsibility of all citizens to love and protect the motherland.
The Hui have national leaders, but they are all empowered and thus, to some subjective extent, delegitimized by their intimate association with the state--through the Yixie, Minwei, universities, and other government-approved organizations.

Han Chinese is a subset of the Chinese nation (Zhonghua minzu).

Within some variants of Chinese nationalist theory, including the official version espoused by the Republic of China and People's Republic of China, China is composed of many ethnic groups and the various ethnicities and sub-ethnicities of China belong to a single Chinese nationality called Zhonghua minzu (中华民族).
