Han areas are inhabited by ethnic minorities, and Han areas are inhabited by ethnic minorities. This pattern of distribution is the result of mutual interaction and mobility among the various ethnic groups in the course of long-term historical development. Although China's ethnic minority population is small, it is widely distributed. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government throughout the country are inhabited by ethnic minorities, and the vast majority of county-level units are inhabited by more than two ethnic groups.
