  • The Zhonghua Minzu (sometimes translated as "Chinese nation"), a supra-ethnic concept which includes the Han Chinese and other established ethnic groups who have lived within the borders of China since at least the Qing Dynasty . This definition stems from a '' Nationality '' perspective, and includes most Overseas Chinese .


  • A person of Han Chinese ancestry is often simply referred to as Chinese or ethnic Chinese in Western countries. This includes most Overseas Chinese . This definition stems from a ''genealogical'' perspective. Note that some overseas Chinese may not necessarily identify with either the PRC or the ROC.


Many factors must be considered when deciding whether a person is Chinese. Apart from nationality (legal) reasons, place of residence (geographical factors), race (biological reasons), and ancestry (historical and genealogical factors), recognition as a Chinese and identifying with Chinese by that person and other people (mainly with those who share a close or intimate relationship with that person) is also very important.
