What's the difference between the richest man in China and the richest man in China?

The concept of Chinese is broader, and Chinese includes China people. Chinese (race) = China (mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) Han nationality and some ethnic minorities+overseas Han nationality and some ethnic minorities.

The richest man in China can refer to the richest man among all China people, while the richest man in China generally refers to the richest man in Chinese mainland.

Basic explanation in Chinese:

(1) refers to Chinese people who have joined or acquired foreign nationality.

(2) China people include China people.

Therefore, the rich in China can include people of China origin in the world, including overseas Chinese, overseas Chinese and Chinese, and the scope will be wider.

Extended data

China people have a long history of emigration. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was no fixed title for China people who emigrated abroad. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the development and exchange of economy and culture, the expansion of foreign trade and the development of transportation, the number of people who emigrated abroad increased sharply, and they were often called "Tang people" by the people in the countries where they lived.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some of them were called "China people", "China people" and "Guangdong and Fujian people", but after the late Qing Dynasty, they were called "China people" and "China businessmen".

Overseas Chinese: Chinese living in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other traditional China territories.

Overseas Chinese: China emigrants and their descendants. "Overseas Chinese" is sometimes referred to as "Chinese" for short, but it must be "outside China" in the context to be accurate.

China people: descendants of China people who have obtained the nationality of other countries in China (including the four places on both sides of the Taiwan Straits) are called China people in the legal sense; Chinese themselves are part of overseas Chinese.

The difference between China people and China people.

Generally speaking, Chinese are mainly distinguished from ethnic groups, while China people are mainly distinguished from ethnic groups. These two meanings are not quite the same.

Chinese (race) = China (mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) Han nationality and some ethnic minorities+overseas Han nationality and some ethnic minorities.

China people put special emphasis on nationality, but their ancestry is also taken into consideration.

Now most countries in the world can distinguish the different meanings of race and nationality, so there is little controversy about the use of the word Chinese. The use of the term "China people" involves political issues, such as cross-strait issues (one China, two China, the special two-state theory, one China, one Taiwan), the issue of Chinese in Southeast Asia, the integration of immigrants from other countries, national identity and so on, so it is controversial.
