Overseas Chinese

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. China, in this usage, may refer to Greater China including territory currently administered by the rival governments of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) as per traditional definitions of the term prior to the Chinese civil war, or only to the People's Republic of China by some quarters.
