      Yep, sidenote on that, it's super ahistorical labeling that history as Chinese in the nation state sense. There is no national "Chinese" identity over most of that territory for most of that period, and one of the uncomfortable things people do with East Asian history (and the Chinese govt does it too) sometimes is revise that history to give the idea of a national project that old when it is just not.
