There is definitely the rural citizen divide and that people in China are not allowed to be unemployed because they have their own farms

The problem is people who moved to the cities don't want to be farmers

Here a link from the Chinese whisperers podcast discussing this issue https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Q69YDz1LQ8CIHqbvBALSe?si=s3ttX7JjTLaB60Wk9_5WfQ&utm_source=copy-link

The North and South divide is still going strong and their is the added complication of what can be classed as Han Chinese

Throughout Chinese history there have been migrations of Turkish and Mongolian people's conquering and migrating to China

If you look at the DNA of the Chinese there's a strong ethnic mix which can make it hard to define what Han China is

Their is also long history of China being divided between North and South with the three kingdoms period being the most infamous

Their also the Eastern Jin Dynasty which ruled the South and barbarian Kingdoms ruled the North

Then their is Southern Song dynasty

Just think what would happen happened if the confederacy won the civil War and the USA was divided into two

Then reunited 50 years later their would still be animosity

And I do believe that the civil war is still an issue for Southern Americans

I do think in the USA is not a North and South divide but a divide between people who live in the cities and people who live in rural areas

What's your take on the issue?
