This pedantry is ridiculous, wrong, and annoying. The Han ethnic group that was in a relatively small patch of land ~4,000 years ago is hardly the same thing as the contemporary Westphalian sovereign state known as People's Republic of China, which formed less than a hundred years ago and comprises many ethnicities.
The people of China would not agree with your assertion that China is less than one hundred years old.
I think they would find your pedantry annoying as well.
I'm okay with that.
