China is barely smaller than the US, and what you think is a unified Chinese language is actually a bunch of mutually unintelligible languages in a trench coat.

The cultural differences between regions in the US are usually much smaller than ones in China.

The most obvious examples of this are the regions of Xinjiang and Tibet.
