Specialty Definition: List of Chinese ethnic groups

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The People's Republic of China officially recognizes 56 ethnic groups, or Mínzú (民族), sometimes translated as nationalities, within China: the Han being the majority (>92%), and the rest 55 ethnicities being the minorities. Chinese ethnic group theory is heavily influenced by that of the Soviet Union and officially China is considered a multi-ethnic (multinational) country. Official policy is against assimilation and maintains that each ethnic group should have the right to develop its own culture and language.

The degree of integration of minority ethnic groups with the national community varies widely from group to group. With some groups, such as the Tibetans and the Uighurs there is a great deal of resentment against the majority. Other groups such as the Zhuang, Hui Chinese, and ethnic Koreans are well integrated into the national community.

In order of population these are:

Religions

Note that some of these ethnic groups hold belief systems that cannot be distinctly classified based upon the following system.
