China promotes White Supremacy?

As someone who has lived in Puerto Rico, and whose mom was born and raised there of immigrants from Mandatory Iraq during WW2, I'd say about 20-30% of people in Puerto Rico consider themselves white.

The CCP promotes Han supremacy; it's literally encoded in the Chinese constitution that the leader has to be a Han and the deputy has to be of other ethnicities. I learned about that while debating with a supremacist to justify their ideology and the slogan "[insert race/ethnicity/nationality] for [insert any given place]". That is why lot of white supremacists look to Japan and China, to a certain extent, about keeping "homogeneous" and "native". But white supremacists conveniently ignore that China is ethnically and linguistically diverse even with 90% Han population making up the Chinese demographic, and the Japanese came to Japan later, with Ainus being there first.

What supremacists really mean to say is that "might makes right. We may have actually come later to the land, but we displaced the original settlers by force. We ain't gonna let others do the same to us." I'm kinda glad I am born South East Asian, there is relative harmony among different groups.

White supremacy probably not but racial supremacy is 100% true.

China is 70% or more Han, you can imagine they have a similar issue with their ethnic minorities but far more direct and unhidden.
