How many foreigners in China back in 2010?
China embraces increasing foreign residents
China has seen an increasing number of foreign residents while
continuing to open up in the past decade, the latest population census
shows.
A total of 845,697 foreigners were living on the Chinese mainland in
2020 when the seventh national census was conducted, up about 250,000
from a decade ago.
Around 402,000 of them are male, according to the report of the
once-in-a-decade survey, which was published on Tuesday by the National
Bureau of Statistics.
China started to track the population of foreigners in the sixth
national census in 2010 and found 593,832 foreigners working and
studying on the mainland.
Duan Chengrong, a demographic researcher in Beijing, said the
inclusion of foreigners in China's national census had followed an
increase in the number of foreign nationals in the new century.
Duan, vice-dean of the Center for Population and Development at
Renmin University of China, said the increase in the number of
foreigners over the past decade is a telltale sign of the sustained
expansion of population of foreigners on the mainland as the country
continues to open up. He said the number could have been more if the
COVID-19 pandemic had not occurred.
Census workers made home visits to collect data nationwide from
October and December, when the outbreak was largely under control in
China. But epidemic prevention and control measures had barred normal
international passenger flow.
The latest census counted about 1.43 million overseas residents－a
group comprising foreigners as well as people from the Hong Kong and
Macao special administrative regions and the Chinese province of
Taiwan－on the mainland by November.
The coastal province of Guangdong has the largest number of overseas
residents at about 418,000, followed by Yunnan province and Shanghai.
Shanghai has a total of about 164,000 overseas residents, according
to the census. The city authority said that 18 percent of the foreign
residents working in Shanghai are deemed as high-end talent from
overseas, and both the number and quality of foreign talent introduced
to Shanghai were ranked first in the country.
As the first city on the Chinese mainland dedicated to encouraging
the establishment of regional headquarters of multinational companies,
Shanghai is now home to 767 regional headquarters of multinational
companies and 479 research and development centers. The city also leads
in the introduction of visa policies to attract and retain international
talent to work and set up business in the city.
However, the census data also shows that the number of Taiwan residents on the mainland was less than a decade ago.
Cheng Po-yu, vice-president of the Taiwan Youth Council Beijing
Association for Taiwan Enterprises, said that is partly because Taiwan
businesses operating on the mainland are becoming more inclined to hire
local workers, which led to a decline in the number of workers deployed
from Taiwan.
"The labor force on the mainland is getting increasingly skilled in recent years, and more professional and efficient," he said.
Cheng noted that a growing number of young people from Taiwan have
come to the mainland for education and started micro-businesses in
recent years.
