The processes of assimilation and sinicization tend to ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assimilation refers to the process of absorbing a minority culture into the dominant culture, while sinicization specifically refers to the process of assimilating non-Chinese people into Chinese culture. Since sinicization is a form of assimilation that specifically targets non-Chinese people, it can reinforce the overall process of assimilation in China by promoting a singular Chinese identity and cultural norms. Therefore, it is likely that these two processes reinforce each other rather than cancel each other out or produce different results. Additionally, the question does not suggest that these processes limit China's influence on its neighbors, so choice D can be eliminated.
