Under Malayo-Polynesian, why does it list "Indonesian"? Perhaps it should be changed to Formosan languages? --72.75.56.66 (talk) 05:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

This map isn't accurate. Xinjiang should be 45-50% Han, but instead the map has it being mostly Turkic and Mongolian. Similarly, 80% of Inner Mongolia is Han, but the map has all of it under Mongolian. It's more of a historic populations map than an actual current PRC ethnic composition map. --Naus (talk) 16:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC) I agree with both statements. This map is dated and should be replaced with another which reflects present understandings.
 * The han populations in inner mongolia and xinjiang are mostly confined to the cities, while the more indigenous groups are rural. It's similar to File:2008_General_Election_Results_by_County.PNG, where the smaller population covers a greater geographical area due to the larger population being urban.
