Autonomous region

The autonomous regions of the Popular republic of China were established after 1949, date on which the communist arrived at the capacity. They are based on the theories of nationality of the Soviet .

These areas correspond to Chinese territories occupied by an important population of Chinese ethnic minorities non-Han. There is the five, constituent autonomous regions of the Guangxi, Mongolia-Interior, the Ningxia, the Xinjiang and the Tibet.

Each area has an autonomy more widened than other divisions of the provincial level in China. Cultural freedoms (habits, local language,…) are respected; the economy and the civil protection are decentralized authority Chinese and managed by the Gouvernement set up in the area. This last must have, at its head, a leader of the ethnic minority concerned.

The autonomous regions are directed by présidents of the gouvernement.

Name

Official names of these areas are formed by

place + minority + 自治区

what is equivalent, in French with

Autonomous region + minority + of + place

For example, the strict name of Guangxi is: autonomous region zhuang of Guangxi (Chinese 广西壮族自治区).

Certain areas, like the autonomous region of Tibet , truncate the name of the ethnic minority in order to avoid an useless repetition.

It should be noted that the prefectures, districts and autonomous banners form their respective names in the same way, by changing simply only the statute.
