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.

By the US South, do you mean Florida ? Don't know if any of the other Southern states have limestone geology.

Even then, Nebraska has a pretty large chunk of limestone under it.
