{{Short description|Hostility towards an ethnic group}} '''Anti-Han sentiment''' refers to fear or dislike of ethnic Han people. Anti-Han sentiment includes hostility towards Han Taiwanese as well as mainland Han Chinese.<ref name="Global Taiwan Institute"/> Since the proportion of Han people in China's ethnic composition is absolute, the anti-Han sentiment is closely related to the anti-Chinese sentiment.
== By region == === Mainland China === {{See also|Han chauvinism}} The anti-Han policies implemented at the political level during the Qing dynasty deepened tensions between the Manchu and Han peoples. By the late 19th century, these tensions had become so acute and widespread that almost every major event in the court was inadvertently linked to the Manchurian-Han conflict issue. The racialization of the Qing dynasty became increasingly evident, leading to growing resentment among Han and other non-Manchurian ethnic groups towards it. The more Manchu relatives distrust Han people, the higher their opposition to Qing; the more Han people's sense of fullness grows, and a series of interactions fundamental denial of Qing rule; it led to the 1911 Revolution.<ref>郭卫东《晚清满汉民族政策的内在矛盾》</ref>
