The difference between overseas Chinese and China people and China people.

The differences among them are: Chinese (who has joined a foreign nationality, Chinese Americans are China people who have joined American nationality), overseas Chinese (who are from China and have China nationality), and Chinese (whose ancestors came from China, so they were born abroad, so they joined a foreign nationality).

Chinese can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense;

China people in a broad sense include Chinese mainland residents, Hong Kong residents in China, Macao residents in China, Taiwan Province residents in China and overseas Chinese. This is a concept of nationality rather than nationality, that is to say, people of China descent, regardless of their nationality, belong to China people in a broad sense. Chinese in a broad sense can be divided into domestic Chinese and overseas Chinese, while Chinese in a narrow sense refers to overseas Chinese.

Different nationalities:

1. Overseas Chinese refer to people who have China nationality but live abroad or have settled abroad for a long time. Both Chinese Americans and Chinese Americans are of China origin, but their nationality is not China.

2. In other words, China people are also the collective name of all China people, while China people are foreigners with China origin, and overseas Chinese are people with China nationality who have settled in China.

3. Overseas Chinese are bound by the laws of China mainly because of their nationality, while Chinese are not bound by the laws of China as long as they do not violate the laws of China.

4. China people are not only overseas Chinese, but also China people who have been naturalized as foreign nationals and immigrants scattered around the world; Overseas Chinese refer only to China citizens living abroad. In People's Republic of China (PRC)'s law, the so-called China people refer to those who have the above Chinese ancestry but "their nationality does not belong to People's Republic of China (PRC)".

Chinese businessmen are foreigners from birth, just as we were born in China, but people in China are different. They were born in China and enjoyed public resources since childhood. After using it, we will join foreign countries directly. Eating inside and picking outside is what we hate most.

I am glad that I was born in my motherland, and I am proud that I am from China.

Different meanings:

Overseas Chinese refer to those who were born in China and have lived abroad for many years for some reason and obtained the right of abode in other countries. Chinese means "China people". Anyone with China ancestry can be called China. Chinese-Americans refer to those who were born abroad and have China ancestry, also known as "overseas Chinese".

Different categories:

Although overseas Chinese live abroad, they are still of China nationality and can be protected by the laws of China. Chinese in a broad sense refers to all people of China origin, regardless of China nationality. In a narrow sense, it refers to China people who were born in China and then lived abroad and obtained local nationality. Chinese Americans literally mean descendants of China people. They were born with foreign nationality. Legally speaking, they are no longer citizens of China, but only of China origin.

Returned overseas Chinese: refers to overseas Chinese who have returned to China to settle down, referred to as returned overseas Chinese for short. No matter how old you are and when you return to China, you are all returned overseas Chinese. Foreign Chinese who have settled in China are also called returned overseas Chinese after their China nationality is restored.

Overseas Chinese students refer to overseas Chinese who have returned to study and have not settled in China. Among them, overseas Chinese who come back from abroad to settle down and study are collectively referred to as returned overseas Chinese students.

Family members of overseas Chinese: refers to the family members of overseas Chinese in China. Including spouses, parents, children (including daughter-in-law, son-in-law), brothers and sisters, grandparents, grandchildren, grandchildren, caregivers and other relatives whose main source of livelihood depends on overseas Chinese. Even after overseas Chinese return home, their families in China are still overseas Chinese.

China culture:

The social relations of China people are typical reciprocal social relations. Usually, differences in social relations are expressed by similar surnames. The connection between an individual and society is called "relationship", and the emotion in this connection is called emotion. China people's social relations are usually carried out by giving gifts to each other.

A very important concept in China's social relations is the concept of face and other concepts related to oriental culture. For example, the concept of "fate" related to Buddhism is one of them. Therefore, China people's cognition of things and people is affected, and things are often judged by interests.

Unlike other nations and societies, which are accustomed to comparing the relationship between individuals and society to that between big boxes and small boxes, China people prefer to compare social relations to "nets". Therefore, China people evaluate the social relations with others, not the inside and outside.

History of overseas Chinese:

Our people have a long history of emigration, which can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was no fixed title for China people who emigrated abroad. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the development and exchange of economy and culture, the expansion of foreign trade and the development of transportation, the number of people who emigrated abroad increased sharply, and they were often called "Tang people" by the people in the countries where they lived. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that China talents who emigrated overseas began to be called "China people" and "China people".

The term "overseas Chinese" is used to refer to Chinese living abroad. The relevant nationality laws and regulations from the Qing government to the Beiyang warlord government and later the National Government all stipulate that overseas Chinese who have not returned for generations will continue to retain their China nationality, that is, regardless of their ancestry, they will continue to be China nationality. Therefore, anyone with China descent and living abroad is regarded as an overseas Chinese. During this period, China's nationality was divided by descent, so anyone with China descent was a citizen with China nationality, so there was no difference between Chinese and overseas Chinese at that time, and they all came from China.

These overseas Chinese played an important role in China's modern revolution and even the establishment of new China. For example, 19 1 1 most of the funds for the Revolution of 1911 were provided by overseas Chinese; During the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese also provided a lot of financial resources to support the anti-Japanese cause, and even tens of thousands of people returned to China to participate in the war. At that time, among the fighter pilots of the China Air Force, overseas Chinese accounted for almost three quarters; Among the seventy-two martyrs who died for the revolution in Huanghuagang, there are many overseas Chinese and Red Gate people. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen is evaluating the people of China.

The position and role of overseas Chinese in the main revolution praised "overseas Chinese are the mother of revolution".

The real distinction between Chinese and overseas Chinese began after the founding of New China, with the gradual recovery of domestic construction and the complete victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which greatly enhanced China's international status. Many overseas Chinese are proud to be China people, and they are worried that they will be labeled as "forgetting the motherland" because of their foreign nationality. But the international environment at that time also embarrassed the China government. Under the background of the Cold War, the nationality and treatment of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia made China's diplomatic relations with local countries tense and difficult. After all, there are tens of millions of overseas Chinese around the world. On the one hand, "dual nationality" was the "evidence" that the western camp accused overseas Chinese of being the "fifth column" at that time. On the other hand, Southeast Asian countries with the largest number of overseas Chinese also seriously doubt the loyalty of overseas Chinese.
