What if Mao Zedong would have turned China into a (nominal) ethnic federation--as per the Soviet model?
For the record, in such a scenario, the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other large minority groups will have their own SSRs inside of China--as would the speakers of various Chinese dialects/languages:

How would China being a federation affect its government and its functioning?
Also, would the speakers of various Chinese dialects/languages gradually undergo ethnogenesis and gradually become their own separate ethnic groups (as in, separate from the Han Chinese) in this TL?
Any thoughts on all of this?
