The natural barriers of China did not isolate China. The natural barriers are the Himalayas, the Gobi Desert and the cold of Siberia and Mongolia and the four seas of China. However the barriers did not hinder either the culture or civilization or influx of others. The famous Silk Road leads from the Middle East to China, and the Great Wall was begun almost 2,000 years ago to keep out invaders from the north. Islands as far away as the Seychelles, Singapore and the west coast of the US were visited centuries ago and some places had colonies of Chinese living there for many centuries. The first paved street in Bangkok (First Street) was in the Chinese part of the city. The Vietnamese fought a war of over 1,000 years with China....so how was civilization or culture restricted?...It wasn't.
