One mention of Tibet and Xinjiang. No mention of Uighers directly. So a discussion about the nature of Han Chinese identity and multiculturalism but almost no real discussion of the internal minority issues. Singaporean, Malaysian and Taiwanese take note: you're off the radar. Hakka too.
Nothing about Cantonese vs Manderin. I think this is a half asked question the bbc have set themselves. When the british in Malaya expelled 300,000+ Chinese they had little doubt they were Chinese, but I suspect Malay Chinese have no interest in a greater Han identity. Confucianism might be a stronger force tbh.
