Chinese diversity
The Seattle Times has a great article about Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit and the many different reactions in Seattle's Chinese American community - a good primer for all the people who don't know the differences that are there (multigenerational, mainland vs Hong Kong vs Taiwan, etc.). |

My grandfather has this old map of China with all of our ethnic groups ringing the outside border. I can't remember how many there are, but it was many dozen...
xian - yeah, China is actually a pretty diverse place, probably by virtue of its size. Han Chinese make up more than 90% of the population, but even within that group there's a huge amount of linguistic diversity too...
