Read a book to find out.
As much as the Chinese government attempt to convince people that they are all one big happy Han family, there are literally dozens of mutually unintelligible dialects of Chinese that, if the CCP was actually honest, would be considered completely different languages. It IS multiethnic and multicultural, but Beijing is doing its damnedest to forcibly assimilate everyone into "Han" Chinese culture.
Okay which book have you read that will tell me about multicultural non-nationalist China?
Okay so you're doing that thing where you're gonna tell me Native Americans were super diverse cause they worshipped different sorts of birds and spoke extremely slightly different dialects. This is that gay shit you get from British people like da norf is a different fucking continent.
I love it when you gay nerds get backed into a corner and start pulling fake laughing meme stuff like this.
Read a book, retard
Your basic understanding of ethnolonguistics is so lacking I literally cannot help you.
Sorry you're mentally retarded.
I guess Russians and Italians are the exact same thing
What's your favorite book on how multicultural, ethnically diverse, and non-nationalist China is?
I'm not the one who said they weren't nationalist. They absoutely are nationalist.
But here's a book about the many languages spoken in China:

See: the entire history of US-Russia relations
So you're the one saying I can't tell the difference between Italian and Russian (more like Northern and Southern Italian, and they insist it's a huge deal) but you're over here saying slightly different dialects with nearly exact syntax constitutes multicultural.
Canada has 2 official languages, 2 distinct founding nations, distinct laws, and distinct historical cultures, and yet there exists this thing called Canada as a nation and a people. You are weirdly setting the threshold for multiculturalism insanely low, just cause Saudis eat McDonalds and speak English doesn't mean they're multicultural dude.
I'll ask you again: what is your favorite book about how multicultural and diverse China is? You seem to like books.
They're not "slightly different dialects". They're in the same language family but are not mutually intelligible. By your standards, Russian and Italian are dialects of the same language.
Again, your understanding of this is so limited it's beyond my ability to instruct you.
I know they're not mutually intelligible, then they would be the same language. That's what makes them dialects. But there is a difference between Germanic and Slavic languages, and the Slavic languages have much more in common and even an English speaker can fake their way through German and French due to the syntax and shared history. You know nothing about languages. This is a discussion about China and the argument being made that they were multicultural and globalist as opposed to Japan. This is historically incorrect, but you're trying to take it in a new direction which makes even less sense.
If they are multicultural, then every culture on Earth is multicultural, and there are no cultures. See how retarded that sounds? Native American cultures in aggregate don't differ significantly despite them having different dialects and beliefs, the fact that there exists and China and there exists a broad cultural connection and these things exist simultaneously geographically with relatively little conflict (less than most Western countries and political parties) means your point makes no sense.
You don't know anything about this, you say to read books and you've never read a book, just give up dude. It's legitimately weird that you're still trying to go at this when all you have is just being a sassy nerd and trying to destroy the entire study of anthropology.
All right then, what's YOUR favorite book that shows China is a monocultural, monolingual ethnostate? Not one published by the CCP or CCP shills
