The People''s Republic of China is a united multi-ethnic
country. So far, 56 ethnic groups have been identified and
recognized by the central govern-ment. The population of various
ethnic groups differs greatly. While the Han ethnic group has the
largest population, that of the other 55 ethnic groups is
relatively small, so they are customarily referred to as "ethnic
minorities." Ac-cording to the fifth national census, conducted in
2000, the population of all the 55 ethnic minority groups totaled
104.49 million, accounting for 8.41 per-cent of the total
population of China. People of all ethnic groups in China have made
important contributions to the creation of a unified multi-ethnic
country and the creation of the time-honored Chinese civilization,
as well as Chinese historical progress.
