The autonomous region of Guangxi lies in south China, between 104°29' and 112°03'E and 20°54' and 26°23'N.
In addition to the Han population, a large proportion of the people living in Guangxi belong to the ethnic minority known as the Zhuang, whose language is similar to that of the Thais. In addition, the Yao, Miao, Dong, Maonan, Hui, Jing, Yi, Shui and Gelao ethnic groups all live here. It was for that reason that in 1958 the central government established the Autonomous Region of Guangxi, one of the five such autonomous regions for national minorities with a status similar to that of a province (the other four being Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Tibet and Ningxia). The birth-control regulations which apply to all Han people do not apply to the minorities, with the result that in some cases their rate of population growth clearly exceeds that of the Han population.
