Han chauvinism (大汉族主义) or Hanism (汉本位) is a highly pejorative term which is used in the People's Republic of China and Singapore to refer to policies and viewpoints which favor the Han Chinese majority ethnic group in China at the expense of the other minority ethnic groups. In China it is generally used to describe supremacist or ethnocentric version of Chinese nationalism focused upon the Han Chinese identity. It often constructs enemies of Manchus, Mongols and subgroups of the Han nationality that oppose a monolithic view of the nationality, and emphasize nostalgia in expansionary exploits by Chinese dynasties identified with the Han nationality

In Taiwan, Han chauvinism refers to the tendency among the right-wing political elite to favour the culture and languages of Mainland Chinese over the native cultures of Taiwan, both Han and non-Han.
