[edit] population figures
THE CURRENT ( OVERSEASE CHINESE POPULATION IN KOREA) SHOULD BE ADJUSTED. THE ACTUAL CHINESE POPULATION IN KOREA IS FAR LOWER THEN WIKEPIDIA NUMBER SUGGEST. THE POPULATION NUMBER IS COMBINED WITH " KOREAN-CHINESE" WHO HOLD " MAINLAND CHINA" NATIONALITY. CURRENT POPULATION KOREAN-CHINESE POPULATION IS MUCH HIGHER THEN OVERSEASE CHINESE POPULATION IN KOREA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bostonasia (talk • contribs) 09:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi I adjusted population figures based on the article http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/Engnews/20060829/480100000020060829091233E3.html, of the 356,790 immigrants from the People's Republic of China, 219,000 are ethnic Koreans with PRC citizenship and are not ethnic Chinese. Additionally, it is possible to find a better estimate for the population of ethnic Chinese in North Korea, 181,000 seems like a pretty large estimate as the CIA Factbook estimates around 45,000 ethnic Chinese living in North Korea.

- Thanks. However, ethnic Chinese does not necessarily mean Han Chinese; it often refers to the supra-ethnic Chinese national identity (see Zhonghua Minzu). Various Chinese ethnic groups overseas may identify as part of the Chinese nation even if they're not of Han ethnicity; obviously this is heavily reliant on political context. Uyghurs and Tibetans tend not to, Hui people often do (but not always; see Panthay and Dungan people), as do Zhuang people. As for the population figures, pretty much everything on North Korea is a crapshoot; I put the 181k figure in because that was the only one I could find a source for at the time. I guess the US government's figures can be assumed to be more authoritative, but all population estimates from all sources should be at least discussed in the article. cab 08:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
