China is known to be one of the world’s largest multiethnic and multicultural country in
the world today. This is a transformation that most scholars have taken time to analyze over the
years. Various studies conducted by various scholars indicate that an outsider can view the
Chinese society as a homogenous society but in the real sense, it is a country with a very diverse
population. Its population is made up of various ethnic groups and cultures. The contemporary
China has about 56 ethnic groups which are already in the records of the national government.
The ethnic majority group among these is the Han.1 The rest of the 55 ethnic groups have smaller
populations which have made them referred as the minorities.
Even though the 55 ethnic groups are known to be the minorities, they live in vast areas
scattered throughout the country. It is estimated to cover over 64 percent of the entire country
mainly in the north-eastern, Northwestern, South West and the Northern parts of the country. All
these areas are the borders and the rural areas of China. The major economic activities done by
these minorities is either farming or pastoralism. The structure of the Chinese country took
shaped since the Song and the Qing Dynasties’ long history. The most diverse of its provinces is
the Yunnan province which hosts over 20 ethnic groups.2 The other ethnic groups live in
compact communities in the various regions of the country noted above. This diversity has
shaped and influenced the Chinese political, cultural and social activities through the interactions
between the 55 ethnic minorities and the Han. All these transformations were influenced by both
domestic and foreign factors discussed in this paper. The paper also discusses the significance of
the transformations on the social, political and the cultural aspects in China.
