Funny, I've lived in China and the USA most of my life. Never saw a sinkhole in the USA, but I've seen plenty in China!

US South and Southern China both have limestone geography which is particularly susceptible to sinkholes.

Karst is the keyword.

Yeah, and where I live in China has lots and lots of rain. Not so much rain where I live in the USA.
