FAQ
What does Huaren World count?
Self-reported overseas Chinese by country and city on a world map, plus optional ancestry in China and straight-line distance from home.
Why can't I pick mainland China for where I live now?
The site focuses on overseas distribution; mainland cities are for ancestry only.
Can others see my email or full nickname?
No. Public pages show masked nicknames only; email is for login and is never displayed.
Is this official population data?
No. Counts are voluntary sign-ups, not government statistics—useful for community insight only.
Is this the same as overseas Chinese association member lists?
No. Huaren World is a self-reported map, not diaspora association directories or government overseas-Chinese registries.
