Does China also have Nyonya and Baba?

There are no Nyonya and Baba in China.

Baba Nyonya are descendants of the Ming Dynasty who settled in Managa (Malacca), Majapahit (Indonesia) and Sri Lanka (Singapore) in the early 15th century. They are Chinese and Malay people. The offspring born after the marriage is called baba nyonya. Baba Nyonya is the translation and is a Peranakan. There are more in Malacca, Penang and Singapore. Men are called baba and women are called nyonya.

It is believed that the origin of Baba Nyonya can be traced back to very early times, mainly during the Malacca Dynasty. Most of the immigrants who came across the ocean from Fujian, China were Chinese Those who were high-ranking officials or well-off merchants did not return to China after arriving in Malacca, but married the offspring of local Malay women; some are said to be the descendants of Zheng He who led a huge fleet to Malacca five times to station in Malacca. Some of his men stayed and intermarried with the locals and gave birth to their offspring.

Extended information:

Politically, the "Babas" still retain a strong sense of China, which is closely related to the overseas policy of the Chinese Qing government. In 1881 and 1890, the Qing government established consulates in Singapore and Penang respectively to strengthen ties with the Chinese society. In addition to conferring formal official titles on local Chinese leaders, the Qing government also allowed wealthy Chinese to buy official titles. Between 1877 and 1911, there were 295 upper-class Chinese in Singapore and the Malay Peninsula holding various official titles in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, only 5 people have obtained official titles through non-donation or other means.

The official system of the Qing Dynasty played an important role in maintaining the connection between overseas Chinese and the motherland. Because Chinese people with Chinese official titles naturally think of themselves as Chinese subjects psychologically, they are more concerned about China's political situation and safeguarding Chinese culture. Therefore, although the Malaysian "Baba" society has incorporated many local cultural factors, it has always maintained some important characteristics of Chinese culture.
