Public outrage is mounting in China over allegations that a major state-owned food company has been cutting costs by using the same tankers to carry fuel and cooking oil – without cleaning them in between.
The scandal, which implicates China’s largest grain storage and transport company Sinograin, and private conglomerate Hopefull Grain and Oil Group, has raised concerns of food contamination in a country rocked in recent decades by a string of food and drug safety scares – and evoked harsh criticism from Chinese state media.
It was an “open secret” in the transport industry that the tankers were doing double duty, according to a report in the state-linked outlet Beijing News last week, which alleged that trucks carrying certain fuel or chemical liquids were also used to transport edible liquids such as cooking oil, syrup and soybean oil, without proper cleaning procedures.
Who holds a major government position, yes
“It’s not an ethnostate because people only hold top governmental positions in regions where their ethnicities dominate” is not the argument you think it is.
What?
Feigning ignorance is not going to make your ridiculous argument where ethnic minorities only get government jobs involving their own ethnicity while the Han Chinese, who are an ethnic group whether you like it or not, run the country as a whole is not an ethnostate is not going to help.
They’re a multitude of ethnic groups, with a wide variety of linguistics dialects, cultural affects, and regional traits

Yes, there are many Tibetan ethnic subgroups too. This also does not help your argument.
Are you absolutely sure “China has a large and diverse ethnic population” doesn’t help my argument?
Israel has a diverse ethnic population, so no. It doesn’t. Israel is still an ethnostate. It was even an ethnostate when it gave Palestinian territories semi-autonomy.
One of the jokes of the Israeli enthostate is how loosely it is applied. Afrikaner Protestants can convert to Judaism in order to gain citizenship, while Beta Israelis and Safardic Jews are subject to abuse and discrimination almost as harsh as any Arab native.
But then so much of the Israeli claim to diversity boils down to “we have every kind of European”.
Describing China as “majority Han” means about as much as describing Europe as “majority White”.
