China is a unitary multiethnic nation made up of 56 different peoples. Because the Han account for 91.6% of the population, the other 55 are customarily referred to as "ethnic minorities". According to the fifth national census in 2000, 18 minority peoples have populations of over one million, namely the Zhuang, Manchu, Hui, Miao, Uygur, Yi, Tujia, Mongol, Tibetan, Bouyei, Dong, Yao, Korean, Bai, Hani, Li, Kazak, and Dai; of these, the Zhuang has the biggest population, numbering 16.179 million. There are 17 groups with a population of between 100,000 and one million, namely the She, Lisu, Gelao, Lahu, Dongxiang, Va, Sui, Naxi, Qiang, Tu, Xibe, Mulam, Kirgiz, Daur, Jingpo, Salar, and Maonan. The other 20 minority populations number between 10,000 and 100,000, namely, the Blang, Tajik, Primi, Achang, Nu, Ewenki, Gin, Jino, De'ang, Uzbek, Russian, Yugur, Bonan, Monba, Oroqen, Derung, Tatar, Hezhen, Gaoshan (excluding the Gaoshan population in Taiwan), and Lhoba. The Lhoba community has the smallest population, only about 3,000.
