What ethnic groups are there in China?

Fifty-six ethnic groups are as follows: Achang, Ewenki, Lisu, Shui, Bai, Gaoshan, Barrow, Tajik, Baoan, Gelao, Manchu, Tatar, Bulang, Hani, Maonan, Tujia, Buyi and Kazak. Xibo, Dongxiang, Jing, Nu, Yao, Dong, Jingpo, Pumi, Yi, Dulong, Kirgiz, Qiang, Yugur, Russian, Lahu, Salar, Tibetan, Oroqen, Li, She and Zhuang. Extended information 1. After the founding of New China, the Party and the government organized forces to distinguish between national names and nationalities in order to formulate and implement national politics and realize the equality of rights of all ethnic groups. This work is a national appraisal. Through their efforts, scientists have made clear the basic composition of China's ethnic family and identified 56 ethnic groups. 2. Ethnic minorities refer to ethnic groups other than the main ethnic groups in multi-ethnic countries. In People's Republic of China (PRC), except the Han nationality, all the other 55 legal ethnic groups are ethnic minorities (accounting for 8.49% of the total population). 3. National identity is a major practical issue involving national equality. China's ethnic identification is guided by Marxist ethnic theory, combined with the actual situation of the nation, adhered to historical materialism, and respected the wishes of the people of the nation.
