Han are an ethnic group native to China and, by
most modern definitions, the largest single
ethnic group in the world. Han Chinese constitute
about 92 percent of the population of the
People's Republic of China (mainland China), 98
percent of the population of the Republic of
China (Taiwan), 75 percent of the population of
Singapore, and about 20 percent of the entire
global human population. An alternate name that
many Chinese peoples use to refer to themselves
is "Descendants of the Dragon" (Chinese ????).

China's 56 Ethnic Groups China officially
registers 56 ethnic groups. The ethnic Chinese,
known as the Han Chinese, compose 92 percent of
the population. Han Chinese speak seven
languages, with Mandarin or Putonghua - which
means "common speech" -- being the official and
most-used. Cantonese, which is spoken in Hong
Kong and in China's other southern provinces, is
the second most popular. Most of the 55 other
ethnic groups use their own languages. China's
minorities account for a small 8 percent of the
entire population. They live along the country's
borders and some of them live on both
sides. China has five Autonomous Regions for its
minorities Guangxi, Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner
Mongolia and Ningxia. Chinese has high numbers of
Chinese troops stationed in Tibet, Xinjiang and
along the border provinces. The Western powers
have attempted many times to separate these areas
from China ever since early 19th Century. The
independent groups are based in USA and supported
mainly by the American political parties. China
was ruled by Han most of the time in the past
except in Yuen Dynasty that Mongols ruled for
less than 100 years and in Qing Dynasty,
Manchuria ruled for almost 300 years. China's
boundary today was solidified in early Qing
Dynasty in early 17th Century. China is a
multi-culture and multi-disciplined society for a
few thousand years. All minorities in China today
have the equal right as Han Chinese. Since
minorities reside in the remote area and usually
poor, Chinese government has preference policy to
provide training for the minorities to progress,
govern and manage.  Chinese would like to enjoy
the peaceful environment and definitely can
accommodate all religions and nationalities if
there is no foreign interference.

????19????? Undistinguished ethnic
groups "Undistinguished" ethnic groups are ethnic
groups that have not been officially recognized
or classified by the central government. The
group numbers more than 730,000 people, and would
constitute the twentieth most populous ethnic
group of China if taken as a single group. The
vast majority of this group is found in Guizhou
Province. These "undistinguished ethnic groups"
do not include groups that have been
controversially classified into existing groups.
For example, the Mosuo are officially classified
as Naxi, and the Chuanqing are classified as Han
Chinese, but they reject these classifications
and view themselves as separate ethnic groups.
