See also: List of ethnic groups in China
The term Chinese people may refer to any of the following:
- People with Han Chinese ethnicity (often simply referred to as "Chinese" or "ethnic Chinese" in English).[1]
- The Zhonghua minzu, 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, such as Han, Zhuang, Manchu, Tibetans, and other established ethnic groups who have lived within the borders of China since at least the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911).[2]
- People who hold citizenship of the People's Republic of China (mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau).[1]
- People who hold citizenship of Republic of China (Taiwan); whether it is a part of Chinese nationality is under dispute.[3]
Race (hereditary reasons), nationality, citizenship, place of residence (geographical factors), and ancestry (historical and genealogical factors) can be used to define someone as Chinese.
