The development trend of overseas Chinese;

Due to a large number of new immigrants from China, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the natural growth of the population of overseas traditional Chinese communities, the number of overseas Chinese has greatly increased.

Compared with the old immigrants, the education level and economic strength of the new immigrants have been greatly improved. Among the new immigrants, nearly 1/3 are students from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Chinese mainland and their families, which is essentially different from the old immigrants who are mainly farmers.
