>>699948There are ethnic differences. I lived in china for 3 years, and studied in Taiwan for 1. People in Beijing don't only act different, but also look different from those in Taipei and those in Guangzhou. People in Guangzhou don't even speak the same fucking language: they speak Cantonese. Because that's what they are. Cantonese.
They only identify as Han Chinese because identifying as anything else is Social suicide, for the same reason as saying you're anything but a White Anglo Saxon protestant would be social suicide in 1920's America.
