  • Speech by Vice-Governor of the People's Government of Yunnan
    Ladies and gentlemen, I am from Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China. I am Vice-Governor of the People’s Government of Yunnan Province. At the same time, I am also an organizer, participant, promoter and witness to HIV/AIDS prevention and care in Yunnan Province, having worked on HIV/AIDS control for 11 years. I would like to extend my great gratitude to UNAIDS and H.E. Mr. Sidibé for inviting me and my colleagues to be here and to have the opportunity to participate in this Board meeting and to share our experiences on HIV/AIDS prevention and control. As we all know, HIV/AIDS is still one of the most important public health issues in the world. It is also the common challenge and responsibility of all governments. In Yunnan Province of the People’s Republic of China, HIV/AIDS prevention and control is an important task. Yunnan Province is located in the southwestern tip of China and has a population of 47 million. There are 25 ethnic minority groups in Yunnan Province, which comprise 33% of the total population. Yunnan Province covers a land area of 394,000 square kilometers and is bordered with Myanmar, Laos and Viet Nam. It shares a 4060-kilometre border with these three countries and is in the vicinity of the Golden Triangle. Yunnan Province is one of the areas worst affected by drug trafficking. It is also one of the most important areas for HIV/AIDS prevention and control in China. By October 2016, 93,437 people had been diagnosed and reported to be living with HIV, which is 14% of the total cases in China.

  • Minority Groups Include Zhuang 16.9 Million
    China minorityrights.org/country/china/ June 19, 2015 Main minority and indigenous communities: Minority groups include Zhuang 16.9 million (1.3 per cent), Manchu 10.4 million (0.77 per cent), Hui 10.6 million (0.79 per cent), Miao 9.4 million (0.71 per cent), Uyghur 10 million (0.75 per cent), Yi (Lolo) 8.7 million (0.65 per cent), Tujia 8.4 million (0.63 per cent), Mongol 6 million (0.45 per cent), Tibetan 6.3 million (0.45 per cent), etc. (Source: National Population Survey of China, 2010). Main languages: Mandarin Chinese (putonghua), Yue (Cantonese), Wu (Shanghaiese), Minbei (Fuzhou), Minnan (Hokkien-Taiwanese), Qiang, Gan, Hakka, Uyghur, Tibetan, etc. Main religions: Buddhism, Roman Catholicism, Islam, Lamaism (Tibetan Buddhism), Protestantism, Shamanism, Animism, Taoism, Dongba. According to the 2010 Census, China has a population of nearly 1.34 billion people, a figure that includes the 23 million population of Taiwan, which China claims as a breakaway province despite Taiwan’s fully independent political and economic system. The definition of ethnic minorities/nationalities in the People’s Republic of China has been conceived by the state and does not truly reflect the self-identification of such ethnic minorities or the reality of ethnic diversity within China’s boundaries. Mínzú (the Chinese term that signifies non-Han ‘undistinguished ethnic groups’, numbering more than 730,000 people) have not been recognized among or classified within the state’s official 56 ethnic minorities (these comprise the majority Han grouping and 55 minority nationalities). The Minzú also do not include ethnicities that have been classified by the state authorities as belonging to existing minorities and hence denied their legal rights to public participation.
