What is Chinese?

Chinese refers to the descendants of Chinese with China descent who were born in the host country and obtained the nationality of the host country.

Modern China people refer to those who are stipulated that China people living abroad have obtained nationality outside China (also known as China people with X nationality) and those who were born abroad and have foreign nationality according to the laws of the country of birth. In other words, legally speaking, they are no longer citizens of China. But by blood, they are descendants of China people.

Chinese originally distributed in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines or Thailand, and mainly came from Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan in the16-19th century. It was not until the 20th century that the distribution of overseas Chinese gradually dispersed, centering on Asia and spreading to European and American countries.

According to historical records, as early as the Han Dynasty, after the establishment of Sino-Western exchanges, China began to establish diplomatic relations with Southeast Asia and India. It was not until the opening of maritime trade that the first batch of immigrants appeared. Most of them were businessmen and sailors. They settled in Southeast Asia for the convenience of doing business. Until the increase of immigrants from China in the Tang Dynasty, many foreigners also called overseas Chinese "Tangren".
