Chinese are all the same? The many Ethnic Groups in the People's Republic of China (PRC)





Kind of a slam of information packed into one 10-minute video, but still a very articulate overview of the variety of ethnic groups in China, that also has large minorities of Muslims (the third largest muslim population of any nation on earth) and Christians (this surprised me, China is 8% to 10% Christian and rising rapidly.

And China has a huge diaspora of Chinese immigrants to nations worldwide, particularly large and powerful minorities in nations across South Asia. The part about Mongolian groups also was new to me. There are 1.4 billion people in China alone, and with the vast amount of Chinese living in other parts of the world, particularly their near (and conquerable) abroad, I could see the potential for China to have a colonial period similar to what Europe had from about 1500-1945.
