Banvetian refers to the Min ethnic group which inhibits the Chinese Province of Fujian. They speak a variety of Min languages including Hokkien and Hokchiunese, and have their own religion, cuisine, music, and lifestyle. The Kingdom of Banvet (Minyue) was founded by Banvetians in 200 BC and dominated Fujian for a century. The region has been controlled by the Republic of China during 1912 to 1949 and the People’s Republic of China since 1949. Millions of Banvetians have migrated to the West due to economic repression and cultural genocide by the Chinese.
