How many overseas Chinese are there in China? How many contradictions exist between China and the Philippines?

There are about 50,000 overseas Chinese registered by the Philippine Immigration Bureau. Together with the naturalized Chinese, there are about 6.5438+0.5 million to 2 million Chinese, accounting for about 2% of the total population of the Philippines. However, according to the information recently obtained by Ciqiao Foundation from the Immigration Bureau, there are more than 70,000 overseas Chinese registered in the Immigration Bureau every year. If those who hold travel documents but do not report to the Immigration Bureau all the year round are counted, there may be more than 70,000 overseas Chinese in the Philippines.

The main contradiction is the dispute over the sovereignty of islands in the sea area.

Many of our islands have been occupied by Vietnam and the Philippines, and it is difficult to recover them in a short time due to geographical and historical reasons.

In addition, driven by interests, they gradually dare to use force to compete, so contradictions increase.
