Ethnic Groups in China

This website gives specific information on the ethnic groups in China.
There are some 56 officially recognised ethnic groups in China. Over 92% of the population is made up of the Han Chinese, and in speaking of the Chinese it is generally the Han that people are referring to. In addition there are 55 ethnic minority groups from a diverse range of ethnic and linguistic groups.
