G25 results of han chinese, they seem to be from all over china. 2 of the 10 samples seem to be very close to vietnamese in comparison to northern hans and 1 sample is around half but leaning towards vietnamese

samples 2,4, and 8

Intermediary, although one of the groups(don't know where in south China) is closer to Vietnamese.

edit: forgot to put the PCA

Based on this PCA, I think a minority of southern Chinese would be closer to Vietnamese. In the previous PCA, South_China2 is apperantly from Fujian, so they and people from Guangdong would be closer to Viets, other southern Chinese inbetween.

The Vietnamese are originally from what is now Northern Vietnam, they later expanded to the South but still there's many minorities living down there.

Southern China has the highest percentage of ethnic minorities as far as I know.
