China's population is 1.413 billion, but this is not all Chinese descendants, because there are still many Chinese descendants immigrating overseas. According to statistics, there are currently about 60 million Chinese and more than 120 million Chinese in the world, with a combined population of nearly 200 million. If these overseas Chinese with Chinese descent form a country, they will become the eighth largest population in the world, surpassing Russia and Japan.
Although these overseas Chinese are distributed in different countries, because of their large population base, they have also "conquered" many countries. The number one is Singapore, the Southeast Asian island country. Singapore is not so much a country as a city, because its area is only 733.1 square kilometers, not as big as Chongming Island in the Yangtze River Delta region. What impresses Singapore most is its economic strength. The per capita GDP of is as high as 71,100 US, ranking fifth in the world.
The reason why Singapore's per capita GDP is so high is largely due to its control of , Malacca Strait, . This strait is one of the busiest straits in the world, communicating with Indian Ocean and Pacific . If countries in Europe, Africa, Middle East , South Asia and East Asia want to go here, they need to stop at the Singapore port. This alone makes Singapore make a fortune. But then again, the money earned in Singapore is not considered to be given to outsiders, because most people in Singapore have Chinese ancestry. According to Singapore's 2020 population briefing data, Singapore's Chinese account for 75.9% of the total population, making it the largest ethnic group in Singapore. It is precisely because of this that Chinese has become the official language of Singapore. It can be said that this country has been "sieged" by the Chinese.
Singapore is the country with the highest proportion of Chinese, but it is not the country with the largest number of Chinese. According to statistics, the Southeast Asian country of Thailand has more than 20 million people with Chinese ancestry. In fact, a long time ago, the Chinese bloodline had already begun to enter Thailand, and even the royal nobles in Thailand had Chinese bloodline. With long-term penetration, Chinese have become an important part of Thailand. They have a relatively high status in Thailand and have a very comfortable life. Currently, there are about 10 million Chinese in Thailand, and the Chinese population has already exceeded 20 million. Since Thailand does not emphasize Chinese identity and does not mark Chinese when counting population, a large number of Chinese ancestry are not included, and the actual number may be greater.
In addition, Philippine has exceeded 20 million Chinese. Many presidents in the Philippines have Chinese ancestry, such as Aquino and his son Aquino III . However, as time goes by, many Chinese descendants have been assimilated and have regarded themselves as Filipino indigenous people. According to statistics, the Philippines has about 3 million Chinese people, while the Chinese population is more than 20 million, which is also a country that has been "conquered" by the Chinese bloodline.
and Indonesian . In 2013, Indonesian Chinese had reached 8.36 million, and by 2021 it was about 9.5 million. In fact, this is just a conservative number, because Indonesia was very unfriendly to Chinese people in the past, and even a massacre broke out, so many Chinese people have hidden their identities in Indonesia. In 2007, Professor from Xiamen University Zhuang Guotu conducted a survey. He believed that the total number of Chinese and Chinese in Indonesia should be 16 million. Now fifteen years have passed, and this data may have exceeded 20 million.
In fact, most Southeast Asian countries are deeply influenced by China, and there are many countries "captured" by the Chinese. In addition, the United States is also one of the countries "captured" by the Chinese. There are 19 Asian ethnic groups in the United States, among which Chinese have the highest proportion, with a population of 5.4 million. In addition, there are many Chinese students, businessmen and people who have settled in the United States for a long time, with a total population of about 8 million. Although this proportion is not much compared to the total population of the United States, Chinese Americans are generally distributed in large cities in the United States and are relatively concentrated, so these large American cities also tend to be "conquered".
