Ethnic groups in Hong Kong and Macau


:''See also: Demographics of Hong Kong, Demographics of Macau''
Hong Kong and Macau are special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China. The governments of Hong Kong and Macau do not use the official PRC ethnic classification system, nor does the PRC's official classification system take ethnic groups in Hong Kong and Macau into account. As a result, minority groups such as Filipinos, Indonesians, Europeans and South Asians in Hong Kong, as well as Portuguese and Macanese (people of mixed Chinese-Portuguese ancestry) in Macau, do not appear in the PRC's list of ethnicities in China.
