Qin Shi Huang
The Chinese tyrant who committed ethnic cleansing or cultural ethnic cleansing to multiple non-Qin tribes, such as the Yue (Viet) tribes, Austroasiatic tribes, and Hmong tribes, to "unify" them under the Qin dynasty. Also, Qin oppressed people to death while building the Great Wall of China to keep out northern invaders, murdered many educated scholars out of paranoia, burned historical books to hide his atrocities, attempted to murder his men if they don’t find the elixir for him to become “immortal”, etc. Joyfully, Qin got poisoned to death, even though it was too late that certain tribes were already absorbed into the Han Chinese rule either forcefully or willingly when the Han dynasty successfully conquered indigenous lands by expanding southwards after 200 B.C.
In 1912, the social constructed/national term "Chinese" was created by Sun Yat-sen. This term derived from the first imperial Chinese emperor, Qin Shi Huang, to unite and control different ethnic groups as only one people, Hans, under one-party rule. Today, the CCP takes this term to somewhat extreme by purging out the true ethnic identities of people, who are not "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". Also, I noticed that the term “Qin” means “Chin” plus the word “dynasty” next to it equals “China”. In other words, Chinese people are referred to as "Qin people", meaning they are still slaves to Qin's legacy. Get it? Qinese people. Many people don't know the word "Chinese" actually is.
