      ...Mabye Canada? Quebec really wants independence, and that may snowball into a independent British Colombia, mabye a united Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, a US annexation of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and an extremely weakened Canada. Newfoundland and Labrador would probably be annexed into Quebec. Honestly I don't know what would happen to Yukon, Northwestern Territories, and Nunavut.

      @@TylerSolvestri Yes, but the Qing ruling class pushed sinicization on their own people for stability, and so now most Manchu people are indistinguishable from Han Chinese. Without sinicization it's unlikely that the Qing would rule for over 250 years, just look at the Mongolian Yuan dynasty as an example.
      Historically, there was another Northern ethnic group that sinicized so much that they disappeared from history: the Xianbei, who ruled northern China for a few centuries. The ruling class of Xianbei systematically abandoned their original family names and adopted Chinese family names. The ruling families of the subsequent unified dynasties (Sui and Tang) all trace part of their ancestry to the Xianbei people, but they are considered Han Chinese nonetheless.

    I am a Chinese, in fact, if China may split, it is Tibet that is most likely to become independent rather than Xinjiang, and if China is divided, it is most likely to be divided into the southern region, the northern region, the Tibet region, and the southern and northern regions will fall into endless wars, and Tibet will fight with the winners after the north and the south have divided the victors. The Chinese masses attach more importance to civilization than to race, so no matter what ethnic group, we pay more attention to whether this nation is part of our culture in history than to any race.
    This belongs to different ideas produced by different histories, because China has long belonged to a unified state, and since the Qin Dynasty, the ancient countries in this region have believed that only those who occupy all the land here can be considered legal, so we have a strong attachment to unification, and any country in this land also tacitly has the right to conquer the entire land. So we don't understand why, after the dissolution of ancient Rome, every country that was divided was legal, and in our eyes, only by retrieving all the land that was once ancient Rome can it be considered a legitimate state.

Central monglia share the same language and culture with us. It's hard for a possibility of spontaneous independence. The real area possible for a indepence will be southern xinjiang where han chinese is not the majority and the locals have a very distinct life style and religion.

    if cultural and ethnic differences are a reason for the break up of a nation, then India, having an amazing amount of religious and cultural variation in each region of the country would be prone to a break up too. And granted, thats exactly what happened with Pakistan and Bangladesh, but even after the two regions full of muslims was separated from India proper, India today still has a sizeable muslim majority, which could split the country even further by this logic.
    this is not even taking into account of the various sects of Hinduism, the Sikh population, the Jain population, the Buddhist Population, and the ways of life different regions lead (rajputs, people from punjab, people from bengal, and people from the south and centre of India all lead very different lives, and the major uniting factor is simply religion. however, when a religion is as seperated into different sects as Hinduism is, the result is similar to that off which has occured to the middle east.)

      we can start with the qin, -extremely harsh laws -internal scheme that saw a extremely weak emperor put on the threat by a corrupt eunuch.
      Han, emperor ling was a terrible emperor that only cared for women and wine, and for some reason was really greedy for money(despite being emporer) leaving power to eunuchs, leading directly to the han's collapse
      jin, internal war cause by the empress whose son, the emperor who had a learning disability.
      sui, terrible second emperor who wasted a million+ lives on failed military campaigns and massive internal works followed by him fleeing then parting the rest of his days away while his empire fell.
      tang, internal rebellion by a general lead to weakening of imperial power to regional warlords who then usurped power and descended to civil war
      song, losing wars to liao, jin, then finally mongols, external threat was coupled with a government system that favored an extremely weak military giving its general basically no independence of action
      yuan, power instability with many quick successions of emperors, the later ones going on massive spending sprees on bribes, parties and women, using a years worth of taxes in like a month in addition to the then climate change causing crop failures and floods every single year that the corrupt and incompetent emperors could not deal with leading to massive peasant rebellions
      Ming, 4th to last emperor didnt go to court for the last 20 years of his rule, 3rd to last emperor was only on the throne for like a year, second to last emporer didn't go to court for his entire 10 year rule. by th etime the last emperor ascended the empire was already falling all around
      qing, the westerners showed up and got the empire addicted to drugs at the point of a gun, and do many other things at the point of a gun.
      so tell me, which one of these was not external invasion or governance failures?
      literally none was because of some irreconcilable differences between han groups internally that caused civil wars it was almost the entire nation conquered by external forces, or the citizens pushed to extreme and the peasantry across the nation rose up.

    Perhaps something like a clever use of the federalisation concept could allow everyone to win.
    Beijing could retain overall control at the federal level, but allow say Xinjiang, Tibet and Mongolia to each have an additional local government to which some authority would be delegated, allowing regions that cause friction with Beijing to retain their distinctive characteristics.
    Trying to force large numbers of peoples in distant places to all conform to a prescribed culture is likely to result in wars eventually.
    You can force soneone to behave in a certain way for a time, but you can't change what they think deep inside, even with psychological conditioning (which is truly horrific).
    Neither can you change the commonality they have with others of like mind.
    Federalisation would all but eliminate unrest, without losing the territory.
    It could conceivably even form the basis of a treaty with Taiwan, establishing a connection with Beijing.
    No-one in the entire human race can really be forced to conform completely to something that is too far removed from their own culture.
    But that doesn't hinder alliances and federations.
    But that's all just speculation, as I am a Brit.
    I'm quite fond of the Chinese peoples and their original cultures though, and I would like to see more harmony and prosperity there; just without the coercion, force or brutality, as these don't serve the interests of any of the peoples.

      People in China need to co-operate so that there is a strong alternative to US supremacy; so that as western culture corrupts we don't enter a new dark age, but the era of some other society's enlightenment carries humanity forward.
      I did however wish, it would be possible to maintain a strongly cooperating and thriving China that is federal or even unionised; unfortunately everyone would sell the others out to western powers to gain an edge over their neighbours, making Asia a second Africa.
      Even the EU can be weakened through division at times; but one can dream, maybe some day it could be possible before all other cultures in China are destroyed.

    I like this hypothetical question and although it is indeed possible that China could break up (because anything is possible) I think it is highly unlikely as the conditions that made this possible in the past are much less significant if not non existent today. Over the years the Chinese government (CCP) did a very good job in creating a sense of national identity in the minds of the different ethnic groups as well as the different Han subsets by creating things like a common language and building out connective infrastructure that made it possible for people from different parts of China to interact more easily. Today hundreds of millions of Chinese people live in parts of the country that they did not historically live and all of these things have greatly diminished the strong sense of regionalism that contributed to previous breakups.
    Tibet and maybe Xinjiang could try to break away if China ever descended into chaos but they would most likely be reconquered again when stability returns to the country as it always does.

    Though I do agree with your reasoning for why places like Tibet and Xinjiang would wanting to secede if given the chance. I think that your Mongolian and Han Chinese arguments are flawed.
    I say that your Mongol argument is flawed, is because the Mongolians themselves are or at least were a collection of different people groups grouped together based on Language and Culture. Though that might sounds irrelevant and/or contradictory, if you were to look into the past the people we consider “Mongols” now were once a collection of different nomadic tribes who formed coalitions with other nomadic tribes to defeat and control other nomadic tribes from different coalitions, which also helped with cultural exchange. Though that was before Genghis’s time and even during Genghis’s time there still was a lot variety is “Mongol” culture and loyalties. Though, Genghis did issue a written form of Mongol language to be made. But then again if things really do get bad enough in China I do think that it is a possibility, though the majority of Mongol people are in the the Chinese province of “Inner Mongolia” and their homeland is the steppes. While each Sub-group of course has their own “Homeland”. But maybe Nationalism could spike.
    Then there is the argument for the Secession on Han Chinese people from Han Chinese Mainland China, claiming that because they were ruled by many different kingdoms and Dynasties from time to time. It then correlates to them having a reason to break away. The reason this is flawed because if you were to look at it with the assumption that these kingdoms and dynasties were fighting under the same circumstances of Western European kingdoms then it would seem like a reasonable conclusion. But, since this is China we’re talking about, and not Western European kingdoms, we should at least expect there to be some differences. But also similarities and there surely were.
    You see, whenever China would engage in another Civil war it would be local Warlords fighting each other, but what people forget is that they’re Officials, and for the most part usually belonged to a powerful families or “Clan” and these officials served under the Emperor, who was by the time of a civil war were either under the threat of having their power usurped by them by outright rebellious officials, used as leverage by a warlord to gain an advantage over other warlords, and/or being protected by loyalist, who may just try to usurp power later. So the people under the control of these warlords would’ve only seen them as officials who like them served under the same leader.
    But if that the party fighting over control of Han Chinese land wasn’t an Official, but instead a Foreign one then nobody would’ve had any loyalties to them because they’re foreign leaders with a different culture. The Yuan dynasty ruled by foreign Mongol people was kicked out of Chinese land. The Qing Dynasty was deposed and replaced by a Republic. Both of which certainly aren’t respected by Han Chinese people. Not sure about the Jin dynasty but it probably would’ve gotten the same treatment.
    There is then difference in Cuisine, Game boards, language and etc. Which doesn’t really make much sense, since here in America we have that too but we don’t have Americans sayings Acadian, Deep South, New England, (State)BBQ, (state dish), and etc dishes are better and we should secede because of it. Same with those other subjects. We still see each other as Americans. Just a variation in Culture caused by regional differences and isolation since you can’t expect people with a mode of transportation to start standardizing Culture down to the smallest touch only for new changes to occur caused by the regional isolation especially varies quite a bit in geography allowing for cultural isolation to take place. But than again maybe I’m wrong. But in my opinion only Nationalism would allow people to get upset over variations.
    Though I certainly am probably wrong about some of these things to an extent. Since I am an American and you can’t expect a foreigner to know so much about a foreign country’s customs, history and etc. Though I believe I got my information from a credible source that covers Chinese and Eastern History being the UA-cam Channel “Cool History Bros”. I just hope my evaluation wasn’t terrible.

      Sure there is a lot of variety in the mongol peoples but they all ultimately identify as mongolian not han chinese, think genghis khan is the greatest person to ever live and share more in common with each other in terms of culture, lifestyle and language than the dominant han majority. It's just too different which is why historically integrating the mongols in inner mongolia has proved very difficult where even subtle changes like forbidding classes in mongolian from being taught in school was seen as an attack on their identity. However, I do feel like if China was to collapse inner mongolia might not reunify with mongolia due to the han majority in the region that happened over centuries of settlement and colonisation sort of like the situation in northern ireland.

    But speaking of federalism, I am more worried about the fascist tendencies of India, and to be honest in Asia Japan, China and India are similar to Britain, France and Germany in Europe in every way, the order of their rise, their cultural heritage and their political organisation.

    2. The population of Inner Mongolia is 24 millions, in which Han population accounts for 85% and ethnic Mongolian is only 3 million (12.5% only!).
    3. Both Han and Uyghur people account for about 40% of Xinjiang population. Ethnic minorities (~20% of total) other than Uyghur probably do not support the independence, because they are still minorities if a nation of Uyghur is established.

The people must not learn about an alternative Chinese cultured system right on their doorstep with opportunities and freedoms with viable industries that grew organically. That is just too dangerous for the ruling class. The CCP cares a shit about China or Chinese. They only care for their own power and pockets. If they have to throw hundreds lf millions of people under the bus to keep it then you can bet they absolutely will do it. The morally grounded officials -if there ever were some- are long gone.

      After the disintegration of many dynasties, the Chinese summed up the harbinger of the demise of the dynasty.
      Every time the dynasty is about to collapse, the following happens.
      (1) a very small number of people own a lot of wealth and land; (2) the rich who own a lot of wealth only have to pay very little tax to the government. (3) in order to maintain the normal operation of the government, a large number of taxes are borne by civilians with only a small amount of wealth. (4) military expenditure accounts for most of the government budget.
      Judging from these circumstances, there is still a long way to go for China to disintegrate.🤭

    I mean, different rules for a game to show cultural differences is not something I would call professional. I mean, did you ever played UNO with someone outside your family?
    tho i have to say, that even I have to confirm that people in saxony most often play other rulesets then bavarians for eexample.

      The card sets even were different in East and West Germany. I grew up in Cologne, but visted Dresden several times before reunification.
      While the west used mostly the French suits of Diamond, Heart, Spade, Club, the east had the traditional German suits of Acorns, Leaves, Hearts and Bells.
      The most famous producer of German card sets was the ASS (Altenburger und Stralsunder Spielkartenfabrik) in formerly East Germany.

    General Knowledge, you should do one for Russia, considering they conquered overtime a vast amount of land inhabited by so many various different ethnic races
    FYI, there are over 50 ethnic groups in China, Zhuang is larger than the rest except the Han. The most distinctive groups are Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, Uyghur, Miao, Yi, Tujia, Tibet, and Mongol.

    Xinjiang and Tibet deserve to be independent again considering the crap they've been through and Mongolia would benefit from annexing inner Mongolia since more mongolians live there than in Mongolia itself
