Chinese People In Korea
A recognizable community of Chinese people in Korea has existed since the 1880s, and are often known as Hwagyo. Over 90% of early Chinese migrants came from Shandong province on the east coast of China. These ethnic Chinese residents in Korea often held Republic of China citizenship. The Republic of China used to govern the entirety of China, but now only governs Taiwan and parts of Fujian. Due to the conflation of Republic of China citizenship with Taiwanese identity in the modern era, these ethnic Chinese people in Korea or Hwagyo are now usually referred to as "Taiwanese".

In 2009, more than half of the South Korea's 1.1 million foreign residents were PRC citizens; 71% of those are ''Joseonjok'', PRC citizens of Korean ...
