On my trip to Beijing I went into a large department store with hundreds of people. THere i saw at least 5 or 6 chinese with grey eyes and 2 with blue eyes. I speak fluent mandarin so I asked them if those were natural or contacts, they told me it is natural and that it's not uncommon for pure chinese in the northern regions to have these color eyes. DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR ABOUT THIS BEFORE!??!

There are officially 55 ethnic minorities in China (in actuality, more than that because some are not officially recognized although they are separate ethic groups from an ethnological perspective), plus the Han majority. Some of these minorities are caucasian (ethnic Russians, Uigyr, Tatar, Tajik, Uzbek, etc.) and therefore have caucasian features such as fair skin, light hair, and other physical features common to caucasians.

This can be true to some extent. Remember that Marco Polo and his group, who were Europeans used to sail back and forth between China and Europe. The British Empire also occupied parts of China in the last 200 years.

I know that in northern Japan that there are blue eyed Japanese people. It's because they have intermixed with Russians over time.
