| | Han Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Within some variants of Chinese nationalist theory, including the official version espoused by the People's Republic of China, China is composed of many ethnic groups, and promoting the interest and culture of Han Chinese at the expense of the other ethnic groups is known as Han chauvinism, which has a pejorative meaning. | | | The term Han Chinese is sometimes used synonymously with "Chinese" without regard to the 55 other minority Chinese ethnic groups; usage of this kind tends to be frowned upon by Chinese nationals, who regard the phrase Zhongguo ren (中國人) to be a more precise terminology. | | | Han Chinese (Simplified Chinese: 汉族; Traditional Chinese: 漢族; pinyin: hànzú) is a term which refers to the majority ethnic group within China and the largest single human ethnic group in the world. |

| | However, leading ethnic Chinese businessmen such as Sofyan Wanandi, of the Gemala Group conglomerate based in Indonesia, told Singapore's THE STRAITS TIMES newspaper recently that the Gemala Group is confident that President Sukarnoputri's government is committed to protecting ethnic Chinese interests. | | | The U.S. Department of State's annual report on religious freedom for 2001 states that most ethnic Chinese Indonesians are also religious minorities, with many city dwellers practicing Christianity or combining Christianity with Buddhism or Confucianism (USDOS Oct 2001). | | | President Megawati generally sympathizes with the plight of the ethnic Chinese because she sees Indonesia as a secular society. |

| | Ethnic Chinese in Cambodia |
| | This complexity of Chinese ethnic identity in Cambodia is reflected in a plethora of Khmer terms. | | | Building on the basis of their social and cultural cohesion manifested in such institutions as Chinese opera, religion, health-care, food and education, ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia were increasingly encouraged to forge lines of political identity with China. | | | This usage does not indicate that ethnic Chinese owe their first allegiance to China, but simply reflects the importance of ancestor worship in traditional Chinese culture. |

| | Hui is also used as a catch-all grouping for Islamic Chinese who are not classified under another ethnic group. | | | It was documented that a proportion of these nomad or military ethnic groups were originally Nestorian Christians who were later drawn to the strong magnetism of Islam, while under the sinicizing pressures of the Ming and Qing states. | | | The Chinese term for Islam is either the religion of the Hui (回教; Huíjiào) or the transliteration Yisilan religion (伊斯蘭教; Yīsīlán jiào). |

| | Washingtonpost.com: Indonesia Report |
| | And the so-called "indigenous" Indonesians, or pribumis, have attacked ethnic Chinese, who many see as beneficiaries of the old corrupt system. | | | For years, to be ethnic Chinese in Indonesia usually had meant occupying a place of relative prosperity in a poor but rapidly developing country. | | | As poor Indonesians tell it, the Chinese are targets because they are seen as rich, because the government is thought to have favored them, and because, more simply, they are different -- they are a group that stands apart and sometimes appears aloof to indigenous Indonesian society. |

| | Indonesia : Economic Crisis Leads to Scapegoating of Ethnic Chinese |
| | Veiled and not-so-veiled attacks on the patriotism of the ethnic Chinese have a long history in Indonesia, going back to the Chinese role in the Dutch colonial period and to the 1960s and the army's suspicion that the ethnic Chinese as a group were a fifth column for the Chinese Communist Party. | | | The two phrases were clear references to the ethnic Chinese, and Prabowo, instead of distancing himself from the remarks, tacitly endorsed them, urging a united front between the army and Islam. | | | Over 1,000 ethnic Chinese may have been killed in spasms of anti-Chinese violence that struck North Sumatra, Aceh, Kalimantan, and Bali in the aftermath of an attempted coup in 1965, although the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands killed in the anti-communist pogrom that accompanied Soeharto's coming to power were non-Chinese Indonesians. |

| | From the Song, the Zhuang were not only a recognizable ethnic group which would endure into the present, but they would remain a minority ethnic group within structures controlled by the Chinese majority people, now known as the Han. | | | Of these two groups, the northern branches of the coastal group were early both the most highly organized, early on having founded their own state, Gu Yue, and the first to feel significant Han Chinese impact which led rapidly to their absorption into the Chinese state and people. | | | However we treat the ethnic category Yue, however, it is important to realize that the assumption of Yue unity has always had a powerful influence in China, both upon Chinese scholarship, and upon southern Chinese political values. |
