Chinese community

Diaspora from Beijing

A Chinese community is a population of people of Chinese descent living in a particular place, especially outside China.

The term often refers to established ethnic enclaves in cities worldwide: The Chinese community in San Francisco dates back to the Gold Rush.

It can describe both geographic neighborhoods (Chinatowns) and the broader social network of Chinese residents in an area.
