Pretty interesting video. I was of the impression that there were more ethnic Chinese in Thailand, but they may have been diluted so much that many of them no longer consider themselves Chinese.

It would be interesting if you look into the status of the Chinese in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, their culture was suppressed and forcefully assimilated during the years of the military dictatorship. I know some hardline conservatives who still see the Chinese as foreigners, despite being a part of the community for generations.

Racism 💯 yellow peril.

Singapore has learned from the history of her surrounding countries. Although being the majority Chinese, the government deliberately chose to have a Malay female President to head the country. The parliament is a mix of Malays, Indians and Eurasians besides Chinese. This is to have a fair representation from the various communities. No one particular race or ethnicity has an absolute monopoly in leadership and wisdom. With mutual respect and frequent consultations with all levels of society, Singapore believe this is the best way forward to ensure social cohesion, progress and prosperity. In short, the ethos is to be "skin colour" blind but assess the person solely on the basis of merit and performance and what is good for Singapore and for the region. It is in the psyche of Singapore to think for the region, to bring co-prosperity and working alongside for the better good as that there would be stability.

Among the Southeast Asian countries except for Singapore, I think the Chinese in Thailand & the Philippines are the most integrated Chinese populace in their respected countries. The Chinese have intermarried well with the locals' population. The Chinese settled in the Philippines before the Spanish came in 1521. During my many visits to Bangkok Thailand, I have also noticed the integration of Chinese with the Thai populace so much so that it is very hard to distinguish if they are pure Thai or pure Chinese or half.

It's like Chinese minorities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Philipines dominated 90% of the top 100 richest person and families in each countries. Especially in Indonesia despite being prosecuted, marginalised, racially targeted, ethnically cleansed for hundreds of years. Example 1740 where around 30.000 Chinese massacred by the Dutch colonial in Jakarta, 1942-1945 again being massacred by a massive scale during Japanese occupation, 1963 rooted out of all in Java island and forcefully moved from rural areas to ghettos in cities and large part of them forcefully sent to Mainland China, and again targeted, rooted, chased, forcefully moved, even massacred across the nation in 1965-1967 anti communist purge by the new dictator general Suharto, finally still again happened in 1998 when Asian financial crisis struck Indonesia hardest that toppled general Suharto from power, before that happens across big cities like Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, Solo, and others mass riots and mass looting and destroying Chinese owned businesses, mass rapes and killings targeting hundreds of Chinese women, especially in Jakarta. Despite all of these historically tragic event that cannot be forgotten suffered by Chinese Indonesians they still dominated around 65% of Indonesian entire economy on every aspect of lives up to this very day despite numbered just around 2% - 3%. Their hard earned success story is also their curse that attracted jealousy and envy from the Indonesian hardline islamists and nationalists and far left or right alike. One thing they do not hate from these Chinese are their wealth.

The mainland Chinese still immigrate (obtaining PR status) to Singapore in loads for education (for young kids) while parents work in China. A lot of these young kids had obtained PR and settle down in Singapore and some obtained their citizenship which help Singapore to balance the ageing population. There are young mainland Chinese families will take on long term stay permit in Malaysia (for maximum 10 yrs, called MM2H). They had come here for their kids education in international schools and universities. Some of them are retired mainland Chinese couples staying in Malaysia as well. There is no citizenship issued to these mainland Chinese in Malaysia as this is Malaysian Immigration law. The Malaysian Chinese (Malaysian referring to citizenship and Chinese is the ethnicity) are descendants of the earlier settlements since Ming Dynasty or those arrived during British times (>150 years ago). I am the 5th generation born and breed in Malaysia. The birth rate of Malaysian Chinese is low as we are prefer quality of life and education opportunities for the younger generation rather than quantity of offspring, as the parent had limited resources (we do not enjoy the some of the privilege like others).

Just to clarify your wording, according to that video in the 1800s Australia had the larger Chinese immigrant population and it was New Zealand who didn't want the extra Chinese immigration. The video also mentions that New Zealand had negotiated the Treaty of Waitangi with the indigenous Maori people and that federating under the Commonwealth of Australia would impact the treaty, which was the big issue around joining the new Australian federation. It's also worth noting that in 1901 (the year "federation" was completed making Australia a single unified nation), the Australia implemented the "White Australia policy" that banned immigration from most of the world. That was only dismantled in 1966 (which is actually very recently if you think about it), and in just 50 years Australia has become what many call the most successful multicultural nation in the world -- a melting pot of all the worlds people and cultures. Australia has its own fair share of racist government policies and citizen's views in the past and in the present (polices and views that also effect Australia's own indigenous people), but like Canada it's done alright job to integrate many millions of people from around the world into a cohesive nation. Just something worth noting in this discussion about Australia's race relation issues.

Much of China is relatively land locked and, historically, arable land is quite scarce for the size of its population. Therefore, famine has been a recurring feature throughout China’s history - it takes little to set off famines (and that’s what happened during some of Mao’s ill-advised policies/ experimentation of the 1960s and 1970s). Add to that the constant battles that took place throughout China’s history and, in particular, the foreign invasions in the 1800s, it explains why many Chinese had to leave just to survive.

For the Chinese populations in South East Asia, the numbers are large due to centuries of migration and natural growth. In Malaysia, the 1st wave was in the 1400s. Then the 2nd wave in the 1800s that saw massive numbers of not just single male workers but also families who settled to run businesses. At one point, the Chinese population in British Malaya was almost 50% but that has dwindled down to around 23% now, mainly due to lower birth rate while other communities had higher number of children. A point to note is that a large proportion of the 2nd wave were not "true" migrants, they had intended to return to China after saving up enough money. But following the tumultuous events from the collapse of the Qing dynasty all the way to the Communist win in the civil war, there was no avenue to return to China so the Chinese stayed on in Malaysia.

Any reason Chinese want to move out of the country?

both philippines and vietnam actually are a bit hush hush on the true numbers of their ethnic and mixed chinese populations since ph for example, does not actually ever take any ethnic-based census and most mixed and pure/majority ethnic chinese filipino mostly primarily speak english and tagalog and/or their respective dominant regional language and most often identify as just filipino anyways, not like any official body ever asks anything but your citizenship anyways. in reality, nat geo made a genographic study last 2005 and they found that around 36% of the average filipino genepool has east asian components,... which historically points to none other than colonial-era mestizo de sangley and modern-day chinese filipinos

I would of thought Vietnam would have a good number of Chinese diaspora

7:35 The 750,000 figure you cite for Australia is those born in Hong Kong and mainland China, but there's actually ~1.2 million people with Chinese heritage. (EDIT: I see you're talking about 2011 figures -- you're probably correct on those numbers then). As many reading may know, like the United States, Australia has a long and storied history of anti-Asian racism -- from way back in the 1800s "gold rush" era to the present day. It was particularly pronounced during the 1990s with an anti-immigration 'One Nation Party' led by a woman named Pauline Hanson who made highly controversial statements like "I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate". Australia is widely considered an immigration success story, experiencing rapid population growth due to new migrants, but in the present day there's some growing issues. Most alarmingly it's been discovered that the Chinese Communist Party's political interference and infiltration bureau called the United Front Work Department is attempting to switch the allegiances of all ethnically Chinese people around the world -- regardless of their nationality and how little connection they have to China. In 2017, the then-head of China's security services (Meng Jianzhu) threatened Australian politicians that they would "instruct" the Chinese-Australian community to vote against one side of politics if they don't support passing a law (the Australia-China extradition treaty). Since then there's been many instances of Chinese government infiltration and intimidation against the Chinese-Australian community, and the broader society. It's very worrying the growing use of the term "ABC" (meaning American-Born Chinese or Australian-Born Chinese) that is often amplified by China's state media to refer to people who have lived their whole life in Australia or America who happen to be ethnically Chinese. This kind of thing is happening in all the Chinese diaspora communities around the world, but Australia just happens to be more aware of it. It will take a lot of effort to remove this political interference and infiltration, but it's obviously of utmost importance.

​@@Asianometry Right now the biggest legislative change is the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme's Public Register (transparency.ag.gov.au) where anybody working on behalf of a foreign power (including eg, people working for the Confucius institutes) are required to register. Also there has been somewhat controversial increased powers to the Australia's equivalent to the FBI that's meant to combat China's infiltration attempts. More sunlight on CCP influence is definitely a good thing. Also billionaire CCP-linked property developer Huang Xiaomo had his citizenship application rejected and barred from re-entering Australia after he was found to be bribing politicians to change their position on the South China Sea issue from "international law must be respected" to the CCP's position. Other than that, the Australian government has definitely changed its rhetorical stance on China and is pushing back MUCH harder (leading the world by calling for an inquiry into COVID even though that meant retaliation on our beef and barley exports). Recently a centrist senator named Rex Patrick called for a Chinese consulate to be closed given the risk to the local defence sector. This is a big change to how things used to be. Also for what it's worth, public opinion on China is at record lows since the interference was discovered (see the Pew research polls on China sentiment), so politicians are to some degree reflecting the public mood.

Probably the best 10 years of my life were spent with the Chinese in HK and my trips to Mainland China. Unfortunately, the CCP is turning on that nationalistic streak that has never worked in the history of any culture in this world. The current situation reminds me of Germany in the times prior to WWII.
