What's the difference between Japanese and Chinese main ethnicities?

Question

I'm really sorry for asking but I really don't know. I can't recognize them. I know that Vietnamese and Filipinos have darker skin and with brighter noses. I can tell who's who for sure talking about Scandinavians, Russians, English, Germans, Serbs and Poles. I can recognize a representative of any of the main ethnicities in those countries right ahead.

Answer 1

I've seen Japanese and Koreans who look "Chinese" so it can be hard to tell. I can generally tell if I overhear them talking and body language reading helps.

Another clue is clothing style. I have noticed mainlander Chinese regardless of income and how long they're been away from China tend to adopt different clothing styles to Japanese and Koreans.

Answer 2

Vietnamese and Filipinos look different because theya re South East Asian same as  Malaysians and Indonesians. If you go to the Philippines, you can see a lot of people who looks Chinese, because we are of Chinese / Taiwanese and Malay descent. The difference is the language, and the culture.

Answer 3

I think the chinese are more yellow than the japanese.....and most of the chinese are tall than the japanese
