A brief introduction of Chinese on the Korean Peninsula

It is different from the new immigrants who came to Chinese mainland to study, work and stay in Korea after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea (there are 2, people, 16, are Korean in China and 4, are Han in China. For details, please refer to the external link "Korean Overseas Chinese Human Rights Forum"). Chinese on the Korean Peninsula is an important ethnic group in the population of the Korean Peninsula. Today, there are about 23, people in South Korea and 22,133 people in North Korea, accounting for about .6% of the total population of 71,858,5 on the peninsula, making it the second largest ethnic group after Koreans. Most Chinese in Korea gather in Incheon, followed by Busan and Seoul.

More than 95% of Korean Chinese are from Shandong, and most of them are from Yantai, Qingdao and Weihai. In all parts of the world, Chinese and overseas Chinese have made many economic achievements, but the economy of overseas Chinese in Korea is difficult to develop. The reason is that the Korean government issued many laws to exclude Chinese businessmen in the past and restricted the economic activities of overseas Chinese in many ways. Originally, there were more than 1, overseas Chinese, and then they gradually declined to more than 2,. Most of them immigrated to the United States and Canada, and some of them went to Taiwan Province and stayed in Korea. Except those who had achieved considerable economic success, their lives were not very good. As South Korea actively develops the China market, many overseas Chinese have benefited, some of whom have served as tour guides or translators.
