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.
