Foreigners ask whether Chinese in Southeast Asia will return with the strength of China.

China is becoming more and more powerful in the world. Some foreigners asked in the American version of Goku Q&A Quora: "With China becoming a rich and powerful country, will millions of Chinese in Southeast Asia return to China to live?" Many Southeast Asian Chinese wrote their own answers.

"I don't think so. Human culture is based on the environment and birthplace, not on bloodline. "

"Most of them won't do this, because many of them are second-generation to fourth-generation immigrants who have taken root in the countries where they live and have their own homes. Economy and wealth are not the only factors that affect a person's sense of belonging. "

"I don't know if they will go back like immigrants, but there will certainly be many people doing business with China people, and the business will be prosperous. As China people, these people will benefit from the development of China. "

"This question is like asking Americans, if Ireland becomes a modern rich and powerful country, will Irish Americans go back?"

"As a Chinese in Southeast Asia, the answer is not so clear. We went back for two reasons. First, China is a rich country and wants to go back; Second, China is our root, and we should go back. But going back depends on many factors. Although we speak Chinese and understand China culture, it will be difficult for us to live in China because of differences in accent, knowledge and skills. "

"Impossible, China nationality is difficult to obtain, and people who leave China nationality cannot enjoy the treatment of China citizens. China people don't value blood or genes, but value cultural identity and social identity. Only those who support the unity of the Chinese nation and enjoy national interests will be recognized. "

"In the 1920s, many Japanese women went to work in the sea to support their families, and many poor Japanese immigrated to Peru and Brazil. Now Japan is very strong and its living standard far exceeds that of South America, but Japanese immigrants have not returned. "

"They have already done so. Some are out of curiosity, some are looking for roots, some are doing business, and some are retiring. Those who have memories and feelings for their hometown will at least take time to see it. "

"The United States is the richest country in the world, but many Americans choose to live abroad. For overseas Chinese living in Southeast Asia, there are too many reasons for them to stay in Southeast Asia, especially the second or third generation of China people. "
