The 2010 census of the People's Republic of China counted more than 7&nbsp;million people of various Mongolic groups. The 1992 census of China counted only 3.6&nbsp;million ethnic Mongols.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}} The 2010 census counted roughly 5.8&nbsp;million ethnic Mongols, 621,500 Dongxiangs, 289,565 Mongours, 132,000 Daurs, 20,074 Baoans, and 14,370 Yugurs.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} Most of them live in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, followed by [[Liaoning]]. Small numbers can also be found in provinces near those two.

There were 669,972 Mongols in Liaoning in 2011, making up 11.52% of Mongols in China.<ref>"Tianya" network: [http://bbs.tianya.cn/post-259-10066-1.shtml General situation of Mongols in Liaoning] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826120937/http://bbs.tianya.cn/post-259-10066-1.shtml |date=2014-08-26 }} (in Chinese)</ref> The closest Mongol area to the sea is the Dabao Mongol Ethnic Township ({{lang|zh-hans|[[:zh:大堡蒙古族乡|大堡蒙古族乡]]}}) in [[Fengcheng, Liaoning|Fengcheng]], Liaoning. With 8,460 Mongols (37.4% of the township population){{citation needed|date=March 2020}} it is located {{convert|40|km|abbr=on}} from the North Korean border and {{convert|65|km|abbr=on}} from [[Korea Bay]] of the Yellow Sea. Another contender for closest Mongol area to the sea would be Erdaowanzi Mongol Ethnic Township ({{lang|zh-hans|[[:zh:二道湾子蒙古族乡|二道湾子蒙古族乡]]}}) in [[Jianchang County]], Liaoning.

Other peoples speaking Mongolic languages are the [[Daur people|Daur]], [[Sogwo Arig]], [[Monguor people]], [[Dongxiangs]], [[Bonans]], [[Sichuan Mongols]] and eastern part of the [[Yugur people]]. Those do not officially count as part of the Mongol ethnicity, but are recognized as ethnic groups of their own. The Mongols lost their contact with the Mongours, Bonan, Dongxiangs, Yunnan Mongols since the fall of the Yuan dynasty. Mongolian scientists and journalists met with the Dongxiangs and Yunnan Mongols in the 2000s.{{citation needed|date=August 2016}}
