overseas Chinese

The annotation of Ci Hai is: "People with China nationality living abroad. It does not include tourists traveling abroad, workers and technicians sent to other countries to assist in construction, public servants and overseas students sent by the state. Chinese who join or acquire foreign nationality are foreign citizens (also known as Chinese foreigners), not overseas Chinese. " According to this concept, I understand it this way: I have lived abroad for a long time and have always retained China nationality; China people who have never joined a foreign nationality can be called overseas Chinese. For China people living in Hong Kong and Macao, they are not living abroad, but China people living in China, so they can't be called overseas Chinese at all, but only "Hong Kong and Macao compatriots"; Besides, they have returned to the embrace of the motherland. Therefore, whether the term "Hong Kong and Macao compatriots" can continue to be used is debatable.

Chinese

The annotation of Ci Hai is: "The abbreviation of China people. It also refers to foreign citizens with China descent who have joined or acquired the nationality of the host country. " According to this concept, I understand that China people must meet two basic conditions at the same time: first, they must live abroad for a long time; Second, only China people who have taken the nationality of the host country can be called China people. Therefore, China people living abroad for a long time may have two situations: one is China people who still retain China nationality, that is, overseas Chinese; The other is China people who have joined the nationality of the host country, that is, China people. If China people become American citizens, they will become Chinese Americans.

The statement that "China people who have lived abroad for a long time are all from China" is wrong, and there is no distinction between overseas Chinese and China people.

Question 6: What do overseas Chinese, Chinese and China people mean respectively? The difference between overseas Chinese is that they have China nationality, but they live in a foreign country or have lived abroad for a long time.

China people are of China origin, but their nationality is not China.

China people are foreigners, but they are essentially from China.

On the other hand, China people are also the collective name of all China people.

The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Returned Overseas Chinese in People's Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulates: "Overseas Chinese are China citizens designated to live abroad."

The State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and other departments explained that foreign Chinese refer to people who were originally overseas Chinese or descendants of Chinese and later joined or acquired the nationality of their country of residence.

The floating central Committee has repeatedly stressed that the work of overseas Chinese is a political and policy-oriented work. The work of Chinese must be strictly different from that of overseas Chinese in concept, and they should not be treated as ordinary foreigners, but also pay attention to the nationality differences between Chinese and overseas Chinese. In recent years, China's relations with other countries, especially neighboring countries, have greatly improved. However, some countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, are still wary of me, and Chinese is still a long-standing sensitive issue in China's relations with some countries. Relevant departments at all levels must strictly abide by the principles and policies set by the central authorities in their contacts with China.

Question 7: Are China people and overseas Chinese citizens of China? Why? Overseas Chinese refer to people who have China nationality but live abroad or have lived abroad for a long time.

China people are of China origin, but their nationality is not China.

China people are foreigners, but they are essentially from China.

On the other hand, China people are also the collective name of all China people.

Question 8: Are there any overseas Chinese living? How to fill it in? Overseas Chinese refer to China citizens who are designated to live abroad.

"Settlement" means that China citizens have obtained long-term or permanent residency in their country of residence, and have lived in their country of residence for two consecutive years, with a cumulative residence of not less than 18 months within two years.

China citizens are regarded as overseas Chinese. Although they have not obtained the long-term or permanent residency in the country where they live, they have obtained the legal residence qualification of living in the country for more than five years (including five years), and they have lived in the country for not less than 30 months within five years. China citizens who often study abroad (including public schools and at their own expense) shall not be regarded as overseas Chinese during their study abroad or during their work abroad on business (including laborers sent abroad).

Foreign Chinese refer to former China citizens who have joined foreign nationality and their descendants of foreign nationality; Foreign descendants of China citizens.

In other words, if you hold a China passport and a foreign residence permit, you are an overseas Chinese. Where to live abroad is to ask which country you have a residence permit.

2. China people: short for China people. It also refers to foreign citizens of China who have joined or acquired the nationality of the host country.
