Distribution of overseas Chinese 2012-2022, by continent
This graph shows the population distribution of overseas Chinese people as of December 2012 and 2022, by continent, according to official Taiwanese sources. In 2022, almost 70 percent of people of Chinese birth or descent living overseas were living in other Asian countries. As the figures include not only first generation migrants, but also their descendants, the distribution varies considerably from figures published by the UN, which only include first generation migrants.
