The book presents original research focusing on the socioeconomic conditions of China's 56 ethnic groups, highlighting the significant diversity among them. While the Han nationality dominates the population, over 100 million individuals belong to various non-Han ethnic minorities, officially recognized by the government. The Zhuang represent the largest minority with over 15 million members, whereas the Lhoba is the smallest, with around three thousand. The work emphasizes the disparities in size and socioeconomic status among these groups, providing a comprehensive overview of their unique situations.
