China, is, like America, a melting pot of many ancient ethnicity. Even the biggest group Han Chinese, they are a product of many different ethnic groups mixed marriage/combination throughout the thousand years of Chinese history. From the combination Si-Yi (Rong-Di-Yi-Man) during the late Zhou dynasty, the combination of Xiongnu during the Han dynasty, the Xianbei during the Tang dynasty, the Khitan during Song dynasty, the Mongol during the Yuan, the Manchu during the Qing dynasty, and plus many thousand minorities throughout history. Therefore, Chinese is a nationality like "American". A person can be ANY ethnicity and still be Chinese.

But then again, there are four group that makes up the Miao. Xong, Hmub, A-Hmao, and Hmong. Some of the grouping also doesn't consider themselves to be categorized as Miao because of cultural difference and language. But as of now, only the Hmong people are the known group that have migrated out of China. They migrated to South East Asia then from there to other countries such as the United States, Europe, and Australia as refugee during the Vietnam War. Thank you for sharing :3

I asked him because we were suppose to do a report for class on our heritage, and typing Hmong, at the time, 90s... got you no where...

China's first mosque, known as Ashab Mosque (清淨寺) is also in Quanzhou city, built in 1009 AD, when Quanzhou was also known as the starting point for the Maritime Silk Road trade stretching from East Asia down to Southeast Asia, and all the way to the Middle East / Africa.

Tibet is not part of China. In 1959, Chinese govt occupied our country and many of the Tibetans were forced from flee from their own country. Thousands were massacred and imprisoned.From 2008 during Beijing Olympics event onwards till now, more than 100s of Tibetans had self immolated which is the clear proof that we are not happy under the oppressive rule under Chinese govt. We Tibetans don't have hatred towards the Chinese people. As we know due to severe censorship and indoctrination, the people got misled by the govt. It's saddening that our own people are minority in its own country right now.

I just want to make a little correction. In the video, the Han language was listed as Mandarin, but the Han also speaks more than just Mandarin. They also speak Shanghainese, Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, and etc (they're all related to the Old Chinese language and a shared writing). These speakers of the several dialects/languages make up the 1.2 billion people.

Dude, in reality there are over 300 dialects spoken in mainland China itself. And the Han, being the vast majority of the population mostly speak Mandarin as their language (or IF they know more than 1) they speak Mandarin 1st since it's whats tought and used in China now. The Han are spread out in the main areas of China with large cities and that includes places like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other areas where many of the individual dialects were indead originated. Since Mandarin is tought in school, most families who speak other dialect may continue to pass down their own dialects in the family, but they will/must learn Mandarin. In reality it is vastly impossible to calculate how many Han themselves know a second dialect (if any). Would it be Cantonese from far Southern China, the Hakka next door, Min a little farther up, Wu to the far East coast, or Gan farther inward... who knows. And Shanghainese is actually spoken by around 14 million Chinese currently. That's isn't even in the top 10 in China. It's to complicated to calculate how many Han know a 2nd dialect, then find out WHICH dialect it is. As I said it's more common for people who know the minority dialects to learn Mandarin, than the Han, who the vast majority naturally know Mandarin learn another dialect. In China most people try to actually learn English as a 2nd language in school to do well. Even now in Hong Kong, it's won't be fully part of China until 2047, but they are already trying to switch from teaching Cantonese to Mandarin. In reality it makes sense to just list Mandarin under Han.

The Hui are just Han that converted to Islam. Uyghur doesn't mean "to come together" - it's a mystery, actually, regarding it's etymology, since "Uyghur" is most likely related to the ancient Turkic word "Oghuz", which just means "community". Uyghurs aren't Caucasian and they're certainly not even remotely Chinese - they're Turks. Karluk Turks, to be more precise, meaning they share much more ethnic and cultural ties with Uzbekistan than they do with the Chinese or even neighboring Kazakh and Kyrgyz. However, Central Asian Turkic languages are about as similar as modern Chinese languages ( an Istanbul Turk, an Uzbek, a Kazakh and a Uyghur can communicate similarly to how a Mandarin, Cantonese, Fujian and Min speaker could), so, at least in my experience, Uyghurs identify most strongly with simply being not Chinese and there's a lot of camaraderie among Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbek and Uyghur communities in and outside of China. Before 1920s, Uyghurs were just called the 'Turki' with Uyghur is a revived ethnic term intending to call back to the ancient Uyghur from the second and third Göktürk Khanate (these Uyghurs, interestingly enough, are responsible for creating the alphabet that would later go on to be used by Gengis Khan in pre-Soviet controlled Mongolia). Most Uyghurs before 1920s just identified themselves based upon where they were from in the Tarim basin (i.e Kashgarliq - The Kashgarians, etc.) Why reclaim an old name? Soviets. Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Uyghur, Istanbul Turk, Azeri, Turkmen or any other "Turkic" tribe really only came about in the modern era with the rise of the European nation state and the era of divide and conquer politics. They're contrived identities, the Soviets hoped that once the Uyghurs had a common banner to unite around, it would organize them better into breaking off from China and joining the other Central Asian Republics in the Soviet Union (similar to the policy enacted in Mongolia, trying to reconcile "Buryat" Mongols with "Oirat" Mongols in China with "Khalkha" Mongols in Outer Mongolia). To many Turkic people, they're all just brothers from another mother and proudly say they're "Turks". Therefore, the most identifying trait for a Uyghur, next to being a Turk and a Muslim, is simply "not being Chinese"

According to the Book of the Han, "No one can enter the middle kingdom without having the Mark of the Han". When the world is destroyed by nuclear weapons, only the Middle Kingdom will still stand and will be the only kingdom to survive. China is the one of the oldest civilization to survive and will continue to survive. Those with the mark of the Han will be allowed to live and prosper in the Middle Kingdom. Those without it will be forced out to dwell in caves. People with the Mark of the Han are gifted and comes from the the Heavens. These people use to be called "The Celestials. They came from the sky and started an empire in "Celestial Kingdom". Which is now known as China. Chinese immigrants to America were used to be called "the Celestials". Remember where you came from. If you are a Han Chinese, you are God's children. You are the gifted one. And God promised to protect us and will welcome us to the Middle Kingdom. And the Mark of the Han is a Promise to all Han Chinese.

What’s funny is that the Han aren’t even a single unified ethnic group. It’s more of a pan-ethnicity like Arabs or Hispanics or White Americans. The idea of a single unified Han nation came out of the 19th century to unify all of the groups historically part of the Han Dynasty in order to overthrow the Manchu dominated Qing Dynasty.
