This question has been asked here before, too!

And such generalizations! Orientalism? Ask someone from Taiwan how he or she is different from and similar to someone from mainland China; same question to someone from Japan about Korea; etc.

Generalizations lead to stereotypes, and stereotypes can lead to big trouble in a society.
