This manual provides an overview of China's administrative
geography, history, and populations of all 31 provinces, as well as
Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It focuses primarily on how the
provinces came to be, how they were named, as well as their people
and populations throughout history. In addition to extensive use of
bilingual names (Chinese-English) for specificity, this resource is
unique in the datasets contained therein: (1) Up-to-date
residential populations of mainland China using the latest
decennial (2020) census, and (2) political-administrative
registered household (hukou) data based on official numbers
provided by People's Republic of China (PRC) Ministry of Public
Security showing trends from 2012-2020. Each internally consistent,
but differing in their methodologies, whereby the Census
(decennial) data provide a snapshot of how many people live in a
given location, and the permanent (hukou) registered household data
track each individual based on their hometown, household,
urban/rural status, and nationality. This book addresses this chasm
which, among other issues, points to the phenomenon of China's
"floating populations", where millions of Chinese spend much if not
all of their time living, working, and studying outside their home
provinces. By showing how the Chinese have been populated and their
organization throughout history, this manual is the go to place for
professionals, practitioners and academics working and interested
in China's provinces and populations.
