Guys, just some polite reminders.
1. China is not homogenous, even with the existence of the artifical ethnicity the 'Han' people (created in the 1960s by pooling together 125 ethnic groups who had applied for minority status. The bar was simply that historically they farmed and built cities -despite their differing dress, religion, language, histories, DNA and looks -overnight it became the world's largest). The Han alone speak 200 languages and hundreds more dialects, let alone the other official 55 ethnic groups, which is why its Diversity Index is on par with the US.
2/3 of China's territory is dominated by non-Han peoples -Official map of the 56 recognised ethnic groups:

This is why if you've ever travelled in China you'll notice how different people start to look between regions, for example how tall the Shangdongers in the north are and how short the Yunnaners in the south are, how skin tone can change from milk-white of the Jilin people to the dark chocolate of the Sea Gipsies, how the rounded eyes, noses and faces of the Cantonese differ from the narrow equivalents of the Dongbeians.
The difference in traditional wedding dresses (now all in red) between provinces are the remnant national costumes of each people:
I should know, I'm one of the unrecognised ethnic groups (Hainanese) - we populated the Polynesian islands back in the day, and look(ed) markedly different. Our race was created by the mixing of the Polynesian base with travellers from the Maritime Silk Route (Arabs, Persians, Mongols, Central Asians, which is why my uncles have blue eyes and I still get blonde/red hairs in my beard), followed up by 600 years of tropical isolation as the jungles of an island penal colony - in that time only 16 people voluntarily came here. Once 8 million strong we're pretty endangered now as -well, people fall in love -Mainlanders arrived by the million since the 1980s. If there's one thing that marks me out - if I tan enough, I can go as dark as acajou mahogany, with a hat on I get mistaken for Black. But yeah, I'm classed as Han.
