Abstract

PIERO CORRADINI ON THE l\宜ULTINA TIONALITY OF THE QING EMPIRE 1. China, a multinational country The People's Republic of China (Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo 中華人民共和國) is defined, since its foundation in 1949, as a multinational state (tongyi de duo minzu de guojia 統一的多民族的國家). More than 50 ethnic groups are living in its territory. The Han nationality is the most numerous and constitutes more than 90% of the population. The others constitute around 7% of the population, but they hold more than 60% of its territoryl. The purpose of the present essay is to retrace this multinational nature of the Chinese state during the past epochs, focusing specially to the period of the last imperial dynasty. During the Qing dynasty one of the many populations that today are inc1uded in the People's Republic of China subdued the whole country and established its domination over China.
