It is amazing how the entire east Asia coast (not south east asia) was united under one government for so long.
How is China so homogeneous, shouldn't there be more groups than just Han Chinese?
I think the empires never really ended because everyone was Han, but why weren't things more regionally fractured? Like in Europe or Africa?
Rome fell apart because of different cultures, the Persian empire fell apart because of different cultures, etc.
Yet China is a massive bloc of land covering most of east Asia and it is just one people for so long. How? Why?
I"m not sure what you mean with the bolded. The Qing Dynasty resulted from the Manchu invasion of China. They were not Han. And they had invaded China earlier in its history as well, and ruled prior to the Mongols, as the Jin (Jurchens). In-between those dynasties, were the Mongols (followed by the Ming, who were Han). The northern part of China was ruled by Mongolic peoples at other times, too, such as during the Liao Dynasty.

Yuan and Qing both had Han leaders, just Mongol/Manchu top brass.
You missed the part "same number of people as Africa"
With covid, living in China does not only feel like living on another continent, it feels like living on another planet. You can hear about all the things going in in the west, but people do not feel connected to them and are concerned about totally different issues.

Lol as if that was exclusive to China. And as if China had ever connected to the West and cared about other countries’ issues. Chinese people don’t even care about their fellow citizens’ misfortunes, let alone other countries.
You are like one of those puppet foreigners on YouTube. Even when the topic has nothing to do with Covid you need to bring up Covid “success” to talk up China. You should pray that they don’t arrest you for the dumbest reason when Norway gets on China’s bad side, lol. They wouldn’t care how much ass-kissing you’ve been doing.

the breakup of a large country like China is a very complicated issue,CIA once laid out what could happen ,it said the Hans provinces wil be BROKEN UP,while it ignores the issues the govt has with the minorities in Tibet and New territories (UIGHURS).
This is not the forum to discuss such complex political what if,most of us are civilians ,OP may want to take her thread elsewhere,there are some political research institutes and university graduate schools which could provide some insight.

Yes, that is quite exclusive to China. For instance Norwegian media copies stories from american/european media all the time and directly listen to foreigners on social media. China is not like that at all.
Regarding those puppet foreigners on YouTube. Could you tell us how many of them have gotten arrested? Oh right, none of them.
Even people like Serpentza and Laowhy86 who criticized China while staying in China did not get arrested. I know what you are about to say, Laowhy86 was going to get arrested if he didn't leave. First off, we don't know if that is true, and if it was true, then Laowhy86 was about to get arrested for some illegal drone usage after severall years of criticizing China and Chinese people.
