Chinese diaspora
People of Chinese birth or descent living outside of China.
The Chinese diaspora refers to people of Chinese origin who live in countries other than China. This includes people who were born in China and moved elsewhere, as well as their descendants who may have been born in their new country.
For example, someone whose parents emigrated from China to the United States and who was born and raised in the US is part of the Chinese diaspora.
The Chinese diaspora encompasses individuals of Chinese ethnicity or nationality residing outside the People's Republic of China. This includes both first-generation immigrants and subsequent generations born abroad, often maintaining cultural ties or identifying with Chinese heritage.
In the context of AI, understanding the diaspora can be relevant for analyzing global information flows, cultural influence, and the diverse user bases of AI products.
OpenAI recently highlighted how influence operations linked to China leveraged AI for content generation. These operations targeted specific communities, including those within the Chinese diaspora, to spread disinformation. This shows how AI can be used to interact with or manipulate diaspora populations.
