if you go to China you mostly meet people from China whose family is Chinese

Where as when you go to Europe...

You will meet people with heritages from all over the world. For example, the UK has local heritage demographic around 74%, and of combined total white demographic of around 81%. That's a much different number than the Chinese 91%.

You can cross the straight in from France or take a thirty minute flight from Spain and be counted as "non-local". Meanwhile, traveling from Shenyang to Shenzhen means nothing.

The islanders of Hainan are no different than the mountain men of Inner Mongolia.

Lol you brought EU into the conversation but didn't state the statistics for them. The large majority of Immigrants to an EU member state are classified as "Non-EU Nationals" meaning they come from outside of the EU. About 5.3% of all EU population are first generation Non-EU immigrants.

TBH I can't even tell you what the race, ethnicity, and heritage stats are for the EU because they've got the worst demographics tracking imaginable.
