This Chinese law, passed in the 1984 by the National People’s Congress, developed a political system to assemble indigenous government bodies, protect the rights of indigenous peoples, and provide special benefits and exemptions to indigenous peoples. It provided these provisions to the already-established ethnic minority zones in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Ningxia, and Guangxi. This law serves as the foundation for indigenous (ethnic minority) policy in China.
