Hmong people have origins in China, where they are recognized as part of the Miao ethnic group, but they are a distinct people, not Chinese, who migrated due to persecution and conflicts, settling across Southeast Asia and then globally, maintaining their unique culture, language, and traditions. While they share East Asian roots and some individuals assimilated into Chinese culture, the Hmong are known for resisting full assimilation, leading to their distinct identity as a minority group with strong ties to their ancestral lands in China but a separate heritage.
