Why do many Hong Kong Chinese look different from the Han Chinese in mainland China?

Will also throw in this chef I found.
Probably because of the heavy Kradai ancestry they have. Couple this with admixture from Han migrants from the Central Plains and relative isolation and you get a huge number of unique phenotypes, which include phenotypes that look pseudo Caucasian/Eurasian like Jomon influenced Japanese. But I wouldn’t say just Hong Kong Chinese but rather, Cantonese people overall, who mostly live in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau and speak the Cantonese language.
