Chinese people in Papua New Guinea form a very diverse community. As of 2008, only about 1,000 of the "old Chinese"—locally born descendents of late 19th and early 20th-century immigrants—remain in the country; most have moved to Australia. However, their numbers have been bolstered significantly by new arrivals from overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and later from mainland China. There are also a few migrants from the Republic of China on Taiwan.
