Chinese Oceanians (Napoleon's World)

Chinese Oceanians refer to Oceanians of Chinese descent. As of the 2012 census Chinese Oceanians numbered approximately 5.6 million, or 7.6% of Oceania's population. They represent the largest nonwhite ethnic group in Oceania outside of Papuans. The majority hail from China proper, while smaller amounts are immigrants from Hong Kong, Macau, the Malayan Archipelago and Japanese Taiwan. Chinese Oceanians tend to cluster in major cities, primarily Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Covenant.

Since the Asian Spring, it is estimated that the Chinese population of Oceania has increased substantially, possibly now as high as 8 million persons, many of them having arrived in Oceania illegally as part of the diaspora of Chinese persons as a result of the chaos stemming from the collapse of the Chinese Empire.
