Country borders do not dilineate different 'looks' of human... this is actually a ridiculous question. It's like asking "Can you tell the difference between a French, German or Dutch person?" There is not a genetic 'type' of Japanese Korean or Chinese person, so anyone who says they can tell the difference without looking for cues like language is kidding themselves. Unless there are definite cultural syles of clothing or something that gives a clue, there is no way to tell what country a person is from by just looking at their face.
