   At present, 56 nationalities including the Hans have been identified in China. They differ greatly in size, The Hans are the most numerous — more numerous than all the rest put together. They constitute 94 per cent of China’s population. All the rest combine to make up just six per cent. This is why these 55 are called national minorities. These in turn differ considerably in size. The largest is the Zhuang, with over 10 million people. Oroqen (Olunchun), numbering about 3,000, is one of the smaller ones.
