Ehhhh, maybe this is true but I think you’re overselling in the other direction.

North Koreans don’t speak Mandarin, they would be loath to consider themselves as Han, they have a totally unique food culture, etc.

I honestly think it’s closer to US / Taiwan style connection than what you claim.

To go even further on the Han point: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Commanderies_of_Han#His...

And China has a history of returning North Korean defectors to NK, where they await death by labor camp, etc:

I've seen this mentioned in a documentary about people fleeing North Korea via China and Thailand as well, and they need to hide themselves from the Chinese as much as they do the DPRK border guards.

That’s Chinese government, no Chinese people want North Koreans defectors return to NK.
