The number of Chinese people in Kazakhstan is not very clear. There have been various migrations of ethnic minorities from China to Kazakhstan in the 19th and early 20th centuries such as that of the Dungan people fleeing Qing Dynasty forces after a failed 1862–1877 rebellion in northwest China or the Uyghur and Kazakh exodus from Xinjiang during the 1950s Great Leap Forward; however their descendants do not consider themselves to be Chinese people.
