The Uzbeks in China are one of the 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in China.[2] The total population of China's Uzbeks in 2021 is 12,742,[1] scattered in Yining, Shache, Ürümqi, Tacheng, and other places across Xinjiang. Most of them live in urban areas and a few in rural areas. The Danangou Uzbek Township is the only Uzbek township in China. The Uzbeks in southern Xinjiang speak Uyghur because they have lived amongst the Uyghurs for a long time, and the Uzbeks in the pastoral areas of northern Xinjiang speak Kazakh.[3]
