Overseas Chinese
Overseas Chinese are people of Chinese birth or descent who live outside the Greater China region, which includes TaiwanHong Kong and Macau. This includes territories administered by both rival governments; the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC). In addition, the ROC had granted residents of Hong Kong and Macau "Overseas Chinese Status" prior to their respective handover to Beijing rule, so the definition may be said to loosely extend to them. People of partial Chinese ancestry may also consider themselves Overseas Chinese.
