This graph shows the population distribution of Chinese people living abroad in 2010 and 2020, by continent, according to official Taiwanese sources. By the end of 2020, around 2.4 million people of Chinese birth or descent who were living overseas were living in Europe. The figures of the source are in most cases higher - in some cases considerably higher - than figures published by the UN, as not only first generation migrants are included, but also their descendants.
