   • 1975, Janet Goldwasser, Stuart Dowty, “National Minorities”, in Huan-Ying: Worker's China‎, New York: Monthly Review Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 327:

     Cadres from minority groups have multiplied rapidly since Liberation. For example, in the early 1950s there were only about nine hundred cadres from minorities in the Guangxi-Zhuang Autonomous Region. In 1970 there were about seventy-eight thousand. More recent press reports indicate that this trend is continuing.

     In mid-1917, President Duan Qi-rui took steps to join China’s miniscule might in the Great War of Europe: by declaring war against Germany, he would become eligible for Japanese and other foreign loans and support which could be turned toward building up his army and threatening his competitors with forcible reunification. On the southern side, Lu Rong-ting, the Guangxi militarist, maneuvered to extend his power; Sun Yat-sen and his supporters in the navy had landed in Canton for yet another attempt at power; and in Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and elsewhere other warlords were on the outlook for the main chance. Reunification by mere coalition among these ambitious men was the dream of all, but, as all hoped to head the coalition and gain the lion’s share of its spoils, all such schemes were doomed.

     Hornet attacks have been reported elsewhere in China as well. Last month, a swarm attacked a primary school in the Guangxi Autonomous Region in southern China, injuring 30 people, including 23 children.

   • [2015, Bill Porter, “The Chuang [壯族]”, in South of the Clouds: Travels in Southwest China‎, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 23:

     THE OFFICIAL NAME of Kuanghsi province is the Kuanghsi Chuang Autonomous Region. Next to the Han Chinese, the Chuang are China’s largest ethnic group. That surprises people. Most people would think it was the Manchus, or the Uigurs, or the Mongols, or the Tibetans. But in 1990 there were 15 million Chuang in China, compared to 10 million Manchus, 7 million Uigurs, 5 million Mongols, and 4.5 million Tibetans. Since most of China’s 15 million Chuang live in Kuanghsi, hence the province’s distinction as the Kuanghsi Chuang Autonomous Region.]

   • 2022 May 19, Marisa Iati, “In a massive sinkhole, scientists find a secret forest”, in The Washington Post‎, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 19 May 2022, Asia‎:

     At the bottom of a sinkhole, ancient trees stretch nearly 130 feet high. Dense plants cover the ground, and a rare type of bamboo grows.
     Cave explorers discovered the hidden forest this month when they descended into a previously unexplored massive sinkhole in south China’s Guangxi region. Researchers say the hole, which is roughly 630 feet deep and spans more than 176 million cubic feet, could be home to previously unidentified plant and animal species.
