Do China people refer to people from China or Han people?

Chinese is the abbreviation of "Huaxia people", which comes from the combination of "Hua" and "Xia" tribes in the upper reaches of the ancient Yellow River and is the general name of people belonging to the Chinese nation.

However, with the spread of Chinese civilization to all parts of the country, the concept of "China people" gradually expanded from the Chinese nation (also known as the Han nationality after the Han Dynasty) to 55 ethnic minorities influenced by Chinese civilization. It has become synonymous with all China people, including "China people" and "overseas Chinese". -common sense culture.
