In the above article, published in issue 48(4) of Chinese Sociological Review, several statistics on page 353 were presented incorrectly. The corrected paragraph appears below. The publisher apologizes for the error.
Such a gap is also supported by the above mentioned 2010 CGSS. In that survey, Mandarin proficiency is only 20 percent among the Uyghurs when the Han average is 100 percent, while the two groups share the same average level of education (6.9 years). Further, in a 2006–2007 Chinese Ethnicity Survey of 1,598 high school students in Tibet and Xinjiang, Tang and He (2010, Figure 1) found that when the year of schooling is controlled, Chinese-language exposure was 100 percent among the Han students, 99 percent for Hui students, and 98 percent for Mongolian students but only 69 percent for Uyghur students and 59 percent for Tibetan students.
