You are definitely right on the money with this one. Chinese nationalism at this point is extremely fierce. And it is strongly encouraged by the government in order to promote a sense of "oneness" for such a big country with such a diverse population. There are so many local languages, and even among the Han, it is easy to tell people from different provinces apart just by looking at facial features, for people from many provinces I have about an 80% accuracy.
