anglo-chinese

British Chinese (also known as Chinese British or Chinese Britons) are people of Chinese – particularly Han Chinese – ancestry who reside in the United Kingdom, constituting the second-largest group of Overseas Chinese in Western Europe after France.The United Kingdom has the oldest Chinese community in Western Europe. The first waves of immigrants came between 1842 (the end of the First Opium War) and the 1940s (the end of World War II), largely through treaty ports opened as concessions to the British for the Opium Wars, such as Canton, Tianjin and Shanghai. British Chinese communities began to form in British ports in Liverpool, London, Cardiff, and Glasgow. In the Liverpool area, by the end of World War II, an estimated 900 Eurasian children were born to Chinese fathers and white mothers.Since the middle of the 20th century, many British Chinese have been descended from people of former British colonies, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. This shifted in the late-1970s with new waves of Chinese migrants coming from Vietnam, mainland China, and Hong Kong.British Chinese live in every major British city, most notably including Greater London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sheffield. Compared with most other ethnic minorities in the UK, the Chinese are amongst the most geographically dispersed. They have a record of high academic achievement, and have the second highest household income among demographic groups in the UK, after British Indians.The cities of London, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle upon Tyne and Birmingham are the five cities in the United Kingdom that have Chinatowns.
