Han

The Han Chinese account for almost 92 percent of China’s population, and make up roughly 20 percent of the international population, making it the world’s largest ethnic group. Often known in the English-speaking world as simply “Chinese” … the Han can be found in almost any part of China, although their continued migration west has caused sometimes violent confrontations with minority ethnic groups. Most Han speak Mandarin, and primarily practice Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. ¹
