As the combined population of these other ethnic groups is far fewer than that of the Han, they form the 55 ethnic minorities of China.
These numerous ethnic groups share China's vast lands but at the same time many live in their individual communities. The relationships between the different ethnic groups have been formed over many years. With a population of 1159.4 million, the Han Chinese can be found in almost every part of China.

They form the largest ethnic group within China and also the largest in the world.
Although they make up only a small proportion of the overall Chinese population, the 55 minority ethnic groups are distributed extensively throughout different regions of China.
