According to incomplete statistics, from 1840 Opium War to 194 1 Pacific War, the number of people going abroad in China was nearly100000, covering five continents and dozens of countries. After the Second World War, especially in the past 20 years, with the development of the world economy, the imbalance of regional economic development and the adjustment of immigration policies in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, foreign immigrants were welcomed, resulting in a large number of people from developing countries migrating to developed countries; With the new trend of international migration, the population of China in developing countries and regions such as Chinese mainland, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Southeast Asia has also migrated to developed countries. As a result, the population of China has increased rapidly all over the world. Southeast Asian countries are the most concentrated areas of Chinese ethnic groups.

Topic 2: What is "overseas Chinese"? "Overseas Chinese", "Chinese" and "China people" have different meanings. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of appellations for overseas Chinese: broad and narrow. In a narrow sense, overseas Chinese refer to the population of China outside Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so there is a mantra of "30 million overseas Chinese". Western scholars and people in Chinese mainland say that overseas Chinese often refer to all overseas compatriots with Chinese ethnic origin except Chinese mainland, including Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, so there are about 57 million people, which is widely discussed. More than 90% of overseas Chinese have joined the nationality of the host country, so they have become "China people" different from "overseas Chinese" who retain China nationality; Therefore, overseas Chinese are generally called "overseas Chinese". Children born overseas by overseas Chinese are from China, but they often refer to all China people as "China people". China's older generation of overseas immigrants, including the older generation now, have left their homes, drifted with the tide, made a living overseas and struggled for a living. There are also some mainland businessmen who cross the ocean to do business. There are also many Chinese laborers plundered and sold by colonists. Its main immigrant areas are Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other coastal areas along the river. Some of them rely on the hard work, wisdom and enterprising spirit of China people to start businesses with small capital, gradually accumulate capital and develop China's agricultural, industrial and commercial enterprises all over the world. Mr. Kwek Hong Png was born on 19 1 in an ordinary peasant family in Lianhua Town, Tongan County, Fujian Province. Because of his poor family, 14 years old, he went south to Nanyang alone with a roll of straw mats to make a living in Singapore. First, I was an apprentice in a hardware store owned by my relatives. He studied hard during the day and insisted on going to night school to make up lessons. Later, he was promoted to the manager of hardware store by his boss, and the store became increasingly prosperous. When he had a certain amount of savings, he invited his three brothers to Singapore to open a small shop called Honglong. After half a century of business development, he has finally become one of the largest Chinese business consortia in Asia today. After the Second World War, due to political reasons such as the temporary adjustment of the national policy of the host country, some Chinese people in Southeast Asian countries migrated to neighboring countries or the United States, Europe and Australia.
