Koreans in China include both ethnic Koreans with Chinese nationality and foreign residents living in China such as South Koreans (Chinese: 在华韩国人·韩裔), North Koreans (Chinese: 在华朝鲜人·朝鲜裔) and other Overseas Koreans. For this reason, ethnic Koreans with Chinese nationality or citizenship[5] are termed Korean Chinese,[note 1] Joseonjok, Chosŏnjok (Korean: 조선족; Hancha: 朝鮮族), and their official name in China is Chaoxianzu (朝鲜族; Cháoxiǎnzú; 'Joseon ethnic group'). Korean Chinese are the 13th largest ethnic minority group in China.[6][7] They form a diasporic community with ties to the Korean Peninsula across generations, including among individuals who have never visited Korea.[8]
Most native Korean Chinese live in the Northeast China. Significant populations can also be found in Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, with a sizable expat community in Shanghai and Shandong across the Yellow Sea. According to the South Korean government, the combined population of Koreans with Chinese nationality, South Korean and North Korean expatriates in China is 2,109,727 in 2023.[9]
The total population of ethnic Korean Chinese is 1,702,479 according to the 2021 Chinese government census.[10] High levels of emigration to the Republic of Korea for better economic and financial opportunities have contributed to a decrease in their numbers in China. Conversely, it is estimated that 42% (Approximately 708,000) of these Korean Chinese in Korea, maintaining their Chinese nationality.[11] Koreans in China are the largest or second largest ethnic Korean population living outside of the Korean Peninsula, after Korean Americans.[citation needed]
Among all of the 56 ethnic minorities recognized by the Chinese government (including the Han majority) their literacy rate and college enrollment rate are the highest, and their birth rate is the lowest.[7]

- ^ According to reports from the majority of Chinese and South Korean media, the total population of the Korean ethnic group is 1.7 million. However, the South Korean government (2023) believes that the total population of Koreans in China is 2,109,727 people (including South Korean nationals who are students and professionals, 1.7 million people of Chaoxianzu (Korean ethnicity who has Chinese nationality), those of Korean descent who have naturalized as Chinese citizens along with their family and relatives, but are categorized as Han Chinese or other ethnicities within China's ethnic classification system). Among them, the population of Chaoxianzu and Korean Chinese with Chinese (PRC) citizenship (including 1.7 million people of Korean ethnicity) is 1,893,763 people (October 2023). Considering those individuals of Korean ethnicity who have already acquired South Korean citizenship, the figure of 2 million seems unlikely.
