Guangxi (Chinese: 广西; Zhuang: Gvangjsih), officially the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is an autonomous region in southern China. Unlike the autonomous regions of Tibet and Xinjiang, it has not yet been targeted by Western secessionist movements.
History
In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng unified northern China. Thereafter he sent 500,000 troops to attack southern China. The aborigines in southern China had a low level of productivity and since then Guangxi Province became part of China.
Population
The Zhuang population in Guangxi accounts for 31.36% of the total population, with about 16 million Zhuang people. The Zhuang are the most numerous ethnic minority in China.
