Autonomous Administrative Units of China
Autonomous administrative units of China exist in the People's Republic of China on three levels:
- the provincial level with five autonomous regions ( 自治區 / 自治区 , zìzhìqū ),
- the district level with 30 autonomous districts ( 自治州 , zìzhìzhōu ) and
- the county level with 117 autonomous counties ( 自治縣 / 自治县 , zìzhìxiàn ); in Inner Mongolia three autonomous banners ( 自治旗 , zìzhìqí )
Below the district level there are 1162 nationality communities ( 民族鄉 / 民族乡 , mínzú xiāng ) and nationality large communities ( 民族 鎮 / 民族 镇 , mínzú zhèn ). Although these do not have autonomy rights, they have some special rights compared to the ordinary municipalities and large municipalities, which are intended to guarantee a certain degree of self-administration, mainly in the cultural area. Each autonomous administrative unit and each national community is assigned to one or more nationalities.
The special rights of all administrative units are structured hierarchically, i. That is, they are largest for autonomous regions and smallest for nationality communities. The higher autonomy rights apply - for the nominal nationality - also in all subordinate administrative units. This means e.g. E.g. for Uyghurs who have territorial autonomy at the highest level (provincial level) in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region and whose settlement area is largely limited to Xinjiang, so that no Uyghur autonomous districts, counties or nationality communities had to be established there. In the only significant settlement area of the Uyghurs outside of Xinjiang, the administrative area of the city of Changde in the province of Hunan , there are, however, four nationality communities of the Uyghurs (founded between 1985 and 1988), which they themselves with a second nominal nationality (the Hui Chinese ) " share".
In some cases, this staggering of special administrative rights means that all four levels are represented and effective in one place. An example is the (nationality) community Danangou of the Uzbeks (大 南 沟 乌孜别克 族 乡), which is located in the Kazakh Autonomous District of Mori (木垒 哈萨克 自治县). Mori, in turn, belongs to the Changji Hui Autonomous District (昌吉 回族 自治州), which is located in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region. However, this constellation only occurs in Xinjiang, as there are no autonomous regions in the other four autonomous regions ( Tibet , Inner Mongolia , Ningxia and Guangxi ). The rights of an autonomous district are fundamentally higher than the rights of an ordinary government district ( 地區 / 地区 , dìqū ), which can be seen in the case, which is unique in China, that the Kazakh Autonomous District Ili (伊犁 哈萨克 自治州) also includes two government districts ( Tacheng and Altay ) belong.
founding
The first autonomous region was Inner Mongolia , which was formed in 1947 two years before the proclamation of the People's Republic in the area already controlled by the communists. Xinjiang Province was converted into autonomous regions in 1955, Ningxia and Guangxi in 1957 and Tibet in 1965. The autonomous administrative units at other levels were also established after the People's Republic was proclaimed.
Demographics
Of the five autonomous regions, only Tibet has a majority of the ethnic group. The Uighurs in Xinjiang have a relative majority, which means that their proportion of the population is below 50%, but they are the largest ethnic group. In the other three autonomous regions, over half the population is Han.
Constitutional autonomy
In the People's Republic of China there is a legally anchored system of national territorial autonomy, which guarantees the officially recognized ethnic minorities an autonomous status and thus self-administration at various administrative levels. This does not include a constitutional right to secession .
According to the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the heads of government of the autonomous regions (and also at other levels) must belong to the ethnic group assigned to the area. A number of rights are guaranteed: independence in financial matters, independence in economic planning, independence of art, science and culture, organization of the local police force and the use of the ethnic language. The head of government is called the president, whereas in provinces he is called the governor.
