Formerly a province, Ningxia was incorporated into Gansu in 1954 but was later separated from Gansu in 1958 and reconstituted as an autonomous region for the Hui people, one of the 56 officially recognised nationalities of China. Twenty percent of China's Hui population lives in Ningxia.
AI overview
Ningxia is an autonomous region in northwestern China that was established in 1958 as a designated homeland for the Hui people, one of China's officially recognized ethnic groups. The region is significant because it is home to about one-fifth of China's total Hui population, making it an important cultural and administrative center for this Muslim minority group.
