List of ethnic groups in China

The Han Chinese are by far the largest ethnic group in Mainland China, comprising 91.5% of the country's population of around 1.2 billion in 2010. There are 55 other minority ethnic groups in present-day China, representing approximately 105 million people, or around 8% of China's population. They are mostly concentrated around border regions.

The main ethnic minorities in China are the Zhuang (19.6 million), Hui (11.4 million), Uyghurs (11 million), Miao (11 million), Manchus (10.4 million), Yi (9.8 million), Tujia (9.6 million), Tibetans (7 million), Mongols (6.3 million), Buyei (3.5 million), Dong (3.5 million), Yao (3.3 million), Bai (2 million), Koreans (1.7 million), Hani (1.7 million), Li (1.6 million), Kazakhs (1.5 million), and Dai (1.2 million). In addition, there are a number of unrecognized ethnic groups which together comprise over 730,000 people. Collectively, the ethnic groups of China are referred to as the Zhonghua minzu (Chinese: 中华民族; pinyin: Zhōnghuá mínzú; lit. 'Chinese ethnicity').

Hong Kong and Macau are special administrative regions within China, and as such, do not use the ethnic classification system used on the Mainland. Hong Kong and Macau are both majority Han Chinese with ethnic minorities of Western European (mainly English and Portuguese), Southeast Asian (mainly Filipinos, Indonesians, and Vietnamese), and South Asian (in the case of Hong Kong) origin.
