Geography can effect in a lot of ways like the fact that they have large mountain ranges surrounding them in most areas. This can cut them off from Europe and did until the silk road came along and even then most traders did not want to make the journey because it was still very treacherous. Because of the sea and unforgiving desserts and mountains china was cut off from a lot of technology from Mesopotamia and Europe for a while. So they had to come up with a lot of stuff for themselves, and when they did become exposed to all of this they modified much of it (like paper for example). This is why the silk road was so important for their economy.
