	Overseas Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Overseas Chinese (華僑 in pinyin: huáqiáo, or 華胞 huábāo, or 僑胞 qiáobāo, or 華裔 huáyì) are either ethnic Chinese or people of the Chinese nation (zhonghua minzu) who live outside of China.
		The overseas populations in those areas arrived between the 16th and the 19th centuries from mostly the maritime provinces of Guangdong and Fujian, followed by Hainan.
		Overseas Chinese vary widely as to their degree of assimilation, their interactions with the surrounding communities (see Chinatown), and their relationship with China.

	Burmese Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the Chinese officially make up three percent of the population (1,078,000), this is an underestimate because of intermarriage between them and the ethnic Bamar, and because of widespread discrimination against minorities (which compels many to refer to themselves as Bamar).
		The Cantonese are commonly thought of as the poorest of the Chinese, the Hakka are stereotypically wealthier, occupying high positions in the economy, and having connections to the government, and the Hokkien are considered to be womanizers, who practise polygamy (although polygamy is rare in modern times).
		The tayoke kabya are of Bamar and Chinese heritage.

		As it is, overseas Chinese are frequently the target of envy and scorn.
		Overseas Chinese are thus made the scapegoat for the corruption and ineptitude of the state.
		To expect overseas Chinese, both in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, to foster the growth of mainland China is to assume that both have common cause by virtue of their ethnic similarity - and that their corporate interests will convert into shared political goals.

		Yet after the mid-nineties the Chinese government, aided by a quickly developing economy, has tried to encourage overseas Chinese to return to their homeland to work and start up enterprises, offering them preferential job placement as well.
		Thus more and more overseas Chinese have gone back to China, easily finding positions offering annual salaries of hundreds of thousands or even over one million Yuan (US $120,820.00), yet at the same time earning the jealousy of their local counterparts, who had much more difficulty obtaining such jobs.
		An employer could offer a recent Chinese college graduate 3,000 yuan (US $362.46) a month, but even if he or she gave an overseas Chinese applicant of the same qualifications 4,000-5,000 per month the latter might still be unsatisfied.

		A third-generation huaqiao, overseas Chinese, in Los Angeles is a very different person from one in, say, Manila, yet they share a heritage that may have molded their diverse experiences in similar ways.
		The definitional boundaries utilized by dominant interests within ethnic Chinese communities are often unproblematized so that (for example) the Chinese men who married Maori women in New Zealand and the descendants of those marriages disappear from the "Chinese" community as do many of those who married white people.
		This is one reason perhaps why the editors shied away from using the word "Diaspora" with its intimations of permanent rupture, preferring instead a title which asserts the centrality of "China" as a location and as an idea despite the increasingly disputed and diverse nature of the communities it claims to represent.
