Why is Qinghai a province rather than an autonomous region?

Although the number of ethnic minorities in Qinghai Province accounts for more than 40% of the province's population, the composition of ethnic minorities is complex, including Tibetans, Hui, Mongolians, Salars and Turks, so it is a province, not an autonomous region.

Qinghai Province, referred to as "Qing" for short, is a provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China (PRC), with Xining as its capital. Qinghai is located in the northwest inland of China, bordering on 3136 ′-3919 ′ north latitude and 89 35 ′-103 04 ′ east longitude. It borders Gansu in the north and east, Xinjiang in the northwest, Tibet in the south and southwest, and Sichuan in the southeast, and is located in the northwest of the four geographical divisions.
