China also has ethnic Russians. And their Muslims often look pretty white.
They technically have like 50 something ethnicities.
I think its likely they will take in more immigrants when their older population start to die off.
Its a population cliff. Everyone's mom and dad had 5 or 6 brothers but nobody has any brothers or sisters born since the 80's. Mostly .

Ironically, I think that the population cliff is painful in the short term but positive for individuals in the long term. The people in power freaking out over it are people who want life to be worthless. Historically speaking, times that the population contracted have been times of unprecedented individual rights and workers improving their lot.

When there are not unlimited workers, it is easier to get a job.
However, that means incompetents rise because there is no one to displace them.

What I see is that as it becomes more difficult to get a job, jobs become political. You give jobs to your friends, to your family, to your allies, they're a thing of value you can use to get more power. I see it a lot in the skilled trades. There's virtually no apprenticeships out there, so the few positions are extremely valuable, so this rare and valuable thing is hoarded and traded.
As the worker market gets tighter and tighter, the political crap tends to fall away, and companies start having to hire politically undesirable qualified candidates

They can't do that, the way laws are designed, since they must make a workplace friendly to diversity.

I mean I don't think the 20 years of forced abortions, women feeling like they needed to abort female babies since they only had one chance at having a boy was worth it.
If they can replace the contracting population with another third world population they won't get any rights either.

And then they genocide themselves.
