the viet people spoke a sinic language before shifting to non-sinic (mon-khmer) when Le Loi came to power (14 century). @Grand Historian, correct?Han Chinese is an ethnicity, not race. There's only 4 types of race. Mix-blood refers to inter-race. All East Asians, specially Han Chinese, has a distinct gene marker 03, from 70% to 90%. This is extremely dominant as there are no 100% in any genetics makeup. We are actually more homogenous than others, except the amazon tribes.
Ethnicity is both cultural and genetic. The ancient sinitic people in China since Huaxia share the same 03 halo group. Even Tibetan, though they are not culturally Han.
Vietnam is Austroasiatic. They have some Han 03, but not significant. Their language is non-sinitic. So no, they are not Han Chinese.
