How many China people have settled in the United States at present?

1. The United States and Canada are the countries that China's high-net-worth people want to go to most. The main reasons for their overseas investment are asset allocation, risk diversification and children's education. So how many China people immigrated to the United States after 1980?

2.2 million people born in China live in the United States.

The US Census Bureau has data about China's immigration to the United States, but it is described as "a person born in China and living in the United States". Its definition refers to people who were born in China and now live in the United States, including those who have naturalized in the United States, those who have permanent residency in the United States, and legal non-immigrant visa holders (non-immigrant student visas, work visas, temporary visas). Therefore, strictly speaking, some data from the US Census Bureau about China people immigrating to the United States are non-immigrants. Of course, if international students can find jobs in the United States after graduation, they can also be converted into immigrant visas. Therefore, the statistics of the US Census Bureau can not be regarded as immigration data, but as the data of the number of people born and living in the United States in China.

According to the data of the US Census Bureau, as of 1960, the number of people born in China (including those born in Hong Kong) living in the United States is less than 654.38+10,000, which is 99,735. By 1970, the number of people born in China living in the United States had risen to1721320,000, an increase of more than 70,000 people over 10. By 1980, the number of China born and living in the United States reached 366,500. After 1980, the number of people born in China living in the United States increased sharply. By 1990, the number of people born in China living in the United States was 676,968. By 2000, the number of people born in China living in the United States was 65,438+065,438+092,437. From 190 to 10 in 2000, the number of births in China living in the United States increased by more than 500,000, with an average of about 50,000 per year. By 20 10, the number of China born and living in the United States is 1808066. From 2000 to 20 10, the number of China-born people living in the United States increased by more than 600,000, with an average of about 60,000 per year. According to the data provided by the United Nations, as of 20 14, there were 2.2 million people born in China living in the United States.

In 30 years, 6,543.8+0.6 million people have obtained American green cards.

Observing the actual situation of China people immigrating to the United States, if water is to be removed, the most accurate data should be the number of China people who have obtained permanent residency (green card) in the United States, which is the real immigration data. The statistics of the US Department of Homeland Security are quite authoritative, and there is complete information about China people's permanent residence in the United States every year. According to the statistics of the US Department of Homeland Security, from 1980 to 1990, the number of China people (including Hong Kong residents) who have obtained US green cards is 283,029. From 1990 to 1999, 458,952 people in China have obtained American green cards. From 2000 to 20 10, the number of people in China who obtained American green cards was 720,438+0.57 million. From 20 1 1 to 20 12, the number of people who obtained American green cards in China was 168800. In this way, from 1980 to 20 12, the total number of people who have obtained American green cards in China is 1630938, which is the actual data of China's immigration to the United States in the 30 years since China's reform and opening up.

If you get a green card in the United States, you will still be a citizen of China if you don't get American citizenship. Therefore, how many immigrants from China become American citizens is another indicator to observe China's immigration to the United States. According to the statistics of the US Immigration Bureau, as of 2000, * * 7 15999 China citizens (including Hong Kong-born people) have obtained US green cards and become American citizens. According to the statistics of the US Department of Homeland Security, from 200 1 to 20 10, * * 3,285,438+0,000 China citizens became American citizens, with an average of more than 30,000 per year. Based on the above two sets of data, as of 20 10, there are * * * 400580 people in China who immigrated to the United States and became American citizens. Compared with China's 6.5438+0.6 million people who have obtained American green cards, the proportion of China people who immigrated to the United States to become American citizens is not too high.
