Hakka

Ethnic group of China. Their name is Cantonese for “guest people” and is indicative of their unassimilated status in the areas of southern China where they live. In the 18th–19th centuries they often feuded with their non-Hakka neighbours over land. The Taiping Rebellion (1850–64) initially grew out of these local conflicts; after it, many Hakka emigrated to the island of Taiwan and the Malay Peninsula.
