The largest of these groups is the Han Chinese. This group is often called "Chinese" or "ethnic Chinese" in English.[2] Large numbers of Han Chinese live in countries other than China. They may make up as much as 19% of the world's population.[3]
Other ethnic groups in China include the Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, and Uyghurs, among many others. The People's Republic of China (PRC) officially recognises 56 ethnic groups.[4][5] Taiwan (Republic of China, ROC) officially recognises 14 tribes of Taiwanese aborigines. The list of ethnic groups in China includes the major ethnic groups of China (PRC) and Taiwan.
