Oversea Chinese and China Town

There were a total of 34,505,000 overseas Chinese scattered around the world as of the end of 1999, an increase of 2.3 percent over the previous year, according to statistics released by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission.

Residents of Asia topped the list, with 26,788,000 ethnic Chinese living in countries other than mainland China and Taiwan. Overseas Chinese residents of the Americas were second most populous. The total there came to 6,013,000, a 19.8 percent increase on the 1998 figure of 5,020,000.

Europe was third in terms of total population of overseas Chinese, with 968,000 residents. Oceania came in next, with 605,000 people, and Africa trailed the list, with only 132,000 ethnic Chinese residents.

The statistics show that the total number of overseas Chinese worldwide increased by 2.3 percent from 1998's figure of 33,726,000.

Today Oversea Chinese have thrived at commerce, live away from a motherland to which they still nurture strong cultural links, and contribute a great deal to rebuild their homeland.

Canadian Chinese

"It took the Chinese community well over a century to become an integral part of Canadian society. The process has been slow and painfully, marked by great courage, persistence and firm belief in equality and the right to justice. Chinese Canadian was not given the rights as gifts. They have earned them through more than 100 years of hard labor, humiliation and sacrifice.

The Chinese Canadian community is still growing strong, in both population and presence. Today, Chinese Canadians can be found throughout Canada, in all walks of life and engaging in all types of professions. The Chinese are no longer viewed as sojourners, they proved a long time ago that they came here to settle. They have been given the opportunities to enjoy a more committed relationship with Canada.

It is our hoped that we, as Canadians, will not let history repeat itself in discriminating against any group of people, be it by age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin. Chinese Canadian history has shown that it is to the benefit of society as a whole to give equal rights and opportunities to all Canadians."
