The residents of Modern China have been exposed to multiple clans, tribes, and countries which have assisted them in evolving culturally, attitudinally, and linguistically. Stereotypes have prominently come into existence due to this perceptual dissimilarity; out of which the most dominant is the appearance of the inhabitants. Northern are categorized as taller, loud, warm-hearted, loyal, open, energetic, expressive, and fairer, with small eyes, longer rugged faces with a Mandarin dialect, and a wheat-based diet.
These attributes can lead to a direction that supports the leadership and heroic charisma of Northerners. Whereas, a southerner is labeled quite distinctly as a shorter, darker, clever, cultured, wealthy, artistic, large-eyed, round face with a southern dialect and rice-based diet. So, Southerners are considered shrewd, industrious, scholarly yet cunning; an entrepreneurial and artistic lifestyle is preferred by such people. Moreover, in terms of agricultural priorities, North harvests apples, melons, peaches, corn, and root-based vegetables;howeverSouth cultivates tropical fruits and leafy vegetables for instance mangoes, bananas, coconuts, tomatoes, and taro roots.
China is subject to dramatic diversity in terms of geographical presence and is divided into two regions: China Proper and Outer China. China Proper is the most urban and densely populated region which drives the economic and industrial growth of the Chinese economy. According to the Countries and culture encyclopedia, Huang He Chinese culture dominates the region. The alluvial soil, moderate temperature, and sufficient river water make the region a basic source of agriculture which has been the driver of Chinese economic growth since earlier times.
The sub-regions in China Proper add to its significance because of their agricultural, geographical, and economic performance. The flat North China with soil replenished by silt carried down by the river is suitable for the cultivation of staple crops like wheat, corn, and sorghum. South China, on the other hand, is more warm, hilly, and humid and is concentrated by rivers so rice is the main crop. On the other hand, Outer China constitutes Mongolia, Tibet, Manchuria, and Xinjiang. It is a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual zone.
The la and is full of mountains and desert plains which makes it suitable for raising cattle. The biggest challenge is transportation and communication. Extreme dry weather adds to the challenge. The external ethnic groups residing here have a different way of living than those living in China Proper. This becomes apparent in their clothing and language which are the symbol of social class and membership of the people to a specific culture. The diplomatic strategy of China will be influenced by the collaboration of resources of both zones. The technological and industrial progressions in the urban cities can act as an additional source of protection and defense of the Chinese economy from external threats.
