The army of the imperial period was half Roman citizens and half auxiliaries, but many of those auxiliaries were recruited from the posh, civilized parts of the empire. Archers from Crete is the standard example.
As for the Han Chinese, while yes, they recruited auxiliaries from everywhere, the core of the army, as I understand it, remained the ethnically Han professional infantry, which was still the core of the army when the dynasty collapsed.
This is where the popular conception of these armies drives me nuts. I have a damned doctorate in the Roman army and yet often I cannot recognize it in the descriptions of it that I get from laypeople. They describe a military force that is unfamiliar to me.
And on the broader point, it is actually pretty clear that, on the whole, the rich settled people had the edge. You can tell because they tended to control the most hospitable and resource rich regions of Eurasia (read: places with coastlines and enough water to farm)...
The Han were defeated by the Xiongnu and forced to be basically vassals for a little while. My understanding is that splitting Xiongnu against each other was their most effective strategy.
