Clever, these Chinese

Someone just made reference to the Fifty Five recognized minorities in China. I hear they even have their own zoo theme park. I got curious. Guess what?

The Han, the majority, aka, Chinese people, constitute 92% - 96% of the population! They divide (and conquer) the other mere 4% - 8% into 55 groups. One group is no different from the Han except that they practice Islam. Very clever system.

I bet it will be a long time before the Han allow themselves to become a minority in their own land.
