Chinese culture will have been dissolved, then put back together again by the bands of survivors with Mongol, Russian, Korean, and other cultural cues


Every culture will survive in some way, evolved and dissolved, but an evolved version of Chiense will exist, as it has proven to be a CIVILIZATIONAL culture and not a NATIONAL one.

We are not Romans or Greeks are we? Parts of said culture would exist, but after two and a half millennia, they would exist as parts of different cultures with their own identities, rather than simply being Chinese

No no no no no that's not what I'm saying.

First of all, a little fact, almost all immigrants/invaders into China become sinicized, and become mostly Chinese even if they try not to, so imagine people simply surviving in villages not really thinking of their parent culture.

Secondly, I know that we aren't Greek or Roman, but that's because we're also German and Gaelic and Spanish and even Chinese ourselves. But China has been invaded and conquered and assimilated so many times, and yet they are still a Chinese. Even though culture in China is incredibly different now than it was 2500 years ago, people still recognize the Han and the Qin as Chinese. I mean China for its name from Qin! (Q makes a CH sound in Latin spellings of Chinese names)

I get what you're saying. But however you must agree that one day, it won't be China anymore right?

I think qe should include three things.

1. Different plants and animals, or at the very least mutated ones.
2. Every nation should have one Old World tech.
3. Mutated/ Adapted humans.

Animals that mutated/adapted in response to climate change, flooding, increased radiation, etc. Plants, as well as humans would do such things as well.

Adapt is fine, but remember that it's only beena few thousand years, not millions.

Mutation, on the other hand, would simply bring the fertility down and give cancer to the others.
