How many China people are there in Myanmar?

According to the statistics of 20 14, the population of China in Myanmar is about 3 million.

Myanmar is adjacent to China, and the same border between the two countries stretches for 2 1, 7 1 km. Since ancient times, the people of the two countries have formed caravans, wading through mountains and rivers and exchanging goods. Due to the unclear border between the two countries in ancient times, the land trade between Yunnan and bhamo led to the seasonal migration of "Mountain Chinese" to Myanmar. These China people are different from the Cantonese and Fujian people who came by sea later.

The first batch of China people who settled in Myanmar are said to have moved from Yunnan Province by jade merchants who moved to the mountains near Kachin State in northern Myanmar several centuries ago. The number of China immigrants in Myanmar surged in the1930s, and by World War II, the number of China people had reached194,000 to 300,000, accounting for about 1% of the total population. They set up Chinese newspapers, Chinese schools and societies. 1950, there were 4 Chinese daily newspapers and 3 weekly newspapers in Yangon, and there were more than 200 schools in Myanmar.
