Isn't there also the cultural influence of the Mandate of Heaven? Or does that not really influence people any more. Wouldn't be surprised as China's seen massive increases in material conditions over the past century and that's probably gonna influence people more than tradition.
Well yeah, it wouldn't be balkanization without everyone thinking everyone else should be under them. It's just an attempt by the CIA to try and take that from the PRC because they're actually getting pretty close (especially in Xinjiang).
