i. Comparatively stable and dominant Zhou bureaucracy providing a common script and highly valued culture, which kept people closely knitted. The stable Zhou Dynasty provided strong foundation to the wider Chinese territory giving people a shared sense of life and responsibility, which kept the population unified.

ii. Throughout history, China has remained relatively isolated because of geographical barriers despite the fact that all its frontiers touch all Asian nations, but for West Asia.

iii. Harsh geographical surroundings such as the Pacific Ocean, Tibet plateau, Central Asia, Mongolia and impassable Burma border gorges have ensured that China remains cut off from interacting with civilization and minimized the effects of globalization. China is thought to have remained detached from other lands, which contributed to its unity unlike Europe.
