Chinese people are the various individuals or groups of people associated with China, either by reason of ancestry or heredity, nationality, citizenship, place of residence, or other affiliations. ==Ancestry or heredity== A number of ethnic groups within the region of China, as well as people elsewhere with ancestry in the region, may be referred to as Chinese people. Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in China, are often referred to as "Chinese" or "ethnic Chinese" in English.〔(Who are the Chinese people? ) . Huayuqiao.org. Retrieved on 2013-04-26.〕 Han Chinese also form a majority or large minority in other countries, and may comprise as much as 19% of the global human population. Other ethnic groups in China include the Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, and Uyghurs, among many others. The People's Republic of China (PRC) officially recognizes 56 distinct ethnic groups, some of whom live in special administrative regions of the country. Taiwan officially recognizes 14 tribes of Taiwanese aborigines, who together with unrecognized tribes comprise about 2% of the country's population. The list of ethnic groups in China includes the major ethnic groups of China (PRC) and Taiwan. During the Qing dynasty the term "Chinese people" (Chinese: 中國之人 ''Zhōngguó zhī rén''; Manchu: ''Dulimbai gurun i niyalma'') was used by the Qing government to refer to all subjects of the empire, including Han, Manchu, and Mongols. ''Zhonghua minzu'' (), the "Chinese nation", is a supra-ethnic concept which includes all 56 ethnic groups living in China that are officially recognized by the government of the People's Republic of China. It includes established ethnic groups who have lived within the borders of China since at least the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brief Introduction Chinese nationality )〕 This term replaced ''zhongguo renmin'' ((中国語:中国人民)), "Chinese people", the term used during the life of Mao Zedong. The term ''zhonghua minzu'' was used by the Republic of China from 1911–1949 to refer to a subset of five ethnic groups in China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chinese people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
