Uzbeks in China

The total population of China's Uzbeks in 2021 is 12,742, scattered in Yining, Shache, Ürümqi, Tacheng and other places in Xinjiang. Most of them live in urban areas and a few in rural areas. Danangou Uzbek Township is the only Uzbek Township in China. The Uzbeks in southern Xinjiang use Uyghur language because they live together with the Uyghurs for a long time and the Uzbeks in the pastoral areas of northern Xinjiang use Kazakh language.
