The article refers to the field study made in 2013 with the aim of initial screening of the situation of the ethnic groups of Southern China. The province of Hunan was visited with particular emphasis on its capital Changsha, and the western part of the province, inhabited by ethnic minorities known as Xiangxi. The collected materials proves that globalization in China brought far-reaching changes not only in the well-known regions of the wealthy coast, but also in remote, inaccessible peripheral areas. With regards to the national minorities of the South of China, a new social phenomena appeared on such a large scale, that the significant migration of national minorities to the coastal cities has had important and far-reaching social consequences. The article contains a new typology that distinguishes two different types of Sinicization: voluntarily and extraneous.
