Interesting. They almost look Chinese! I wonder how closely related say, Turks and Chinese are.

well it depends on which “Chinese”.

The northern Chinese were conquered by the Xianbei, Xiongnu, through to the Mongols and have Turkic and Mongol admixture - I believe up to 25%

But the southern Chinese have lesser and more admixture from Miao, Vietnamese, Tai, etc. peoples.

Linguistically they are not related at all - the Turkic languages are a completely different family from the Sinitic languages.

historically they have touch points
