Chinese immigrants
Arrivals from China
People who have migrated from China to another country.
The term appears in historical contexts discussing labor migration, particularly the 19th-century workers who built American railroads and worked western mines, and in contemporary discussions of immigration patterns: Chinese immigrants faced severe discrimination under the Exclusion Act.
Recent Chinese immigrants have transformed the neighborhood.
