2025年，全球華人分布格局再次引起關注，最新統計揭示全球華人聚居最多的前十個國家與地區。這份榜單不僅反映華人海外移民的歷史與趨勢，也折射出不同國家對華人社群的接納程度、經濟機遇及文化影響力。

根據統計，印尼以約1,500萬 華人人口位居全球首位。印尼的華人社群歷史悠久，早在明清時期便有大量華人移民，主要集中在雅加達、泗水、棉蘭等城市，從事商業、零售及金融業務，形成穩固的社會經濟網絡。雖然歷史上曾經歷排華事件，但現今印尼華人已逐步融入主流社會，對印尼經濟與文化發展貢獻巨大。

緊隨其後的是泰國，華人總數約1,000萬。泰國華人大多是廣東、福建籍移民及其後代，尤其在曼谷、清邁和春蓬等地形成密集社區。華人在當地商業、餐飲和製造業中占有重要地位，也深深影響泰國的文化與社會結構，華人節慶如春節和中秋節在泰國仍然盛行。

馬來西亞華人人口約740萬，長期以來是當地主要族群之一，尤其集中在吉隆坡、檳城及柔佛。馬來西亞華人多為福建、廣東及客家後裔，他們在教育、商業及政界都有舉足輕重的影響力，華語媒體與華人社團活動活躍，是馬來西亞多元文化的重要組成部分。

在西方國家中，美國的華人人口達550萬。美國華人社群分布廣泛，尤其在加州、紐約、德州等地，涵蓋科技、醫療、教育與商業領域。美國的高等教育和創新產業吸引了大量華人移民，也形成全球華人科技與商業交流的重要節點。

新加坡作為華人占比極高的國家，擁有約447萬 華人。新加坡華人不僅是人口大多數，也在政治、經濟、教育和文化方面佔據主導地位。華語是官方語言之一，華人社群的文化傳承完整，城市規劃、節日慶典和日常生活均深受華人文化影響。

其他入榜的國家和地區還包括加拿大、緬甸、菲律賓、秘魯與澳大利亞。其中，加拿大的華人主要集中在溫哥華、多倫多和蒙特利爾，以科技、教育和房地產等行業為主；緬甸華人則以仰光和曼德勒為中心，長期從事貿易和手工業；菲律賓、秘魯和澳大利亞的華人社群規模較小，但在當地經濟與社會中仍發揮重要作用，尤其是商業和文化交流領域。

綜合來看，2025年全球華人聚居地分布呈現出東南亞集中、西方國家穩定增長 的特徵。東南亞歷史上華人移民多數已有數百年歷史，形成深厚的社會與經濟根基；西方國家的華人則以新移民和高技能人才為主，正在逐步擴大影響力。這份榜單不僅展示華人在全球的廣泛分布，也反映了華人社群在不同國家中融合與發展的多樣性。

In 2025, the global distribution of Chinese populations has once again attracted widespread attention, with the latest statistics revealing the top ten countries and regions with the largest Chinese communities. This ranking not only reflects the historical migration patterns of overseas Chinese but also highlights the economic opportunities, social integration, and cultural influence they hold in different countries.

At the top of the list is Indonesia, with approximately 15 million Chinese residents. Indonesia’s Chinese community has a long history, dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is primarily concentrated in cities such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Medan. Historically involved in commerce, retail, and finance, the community has built a solid economic network. Despite experiencing episodes of anti-Chinese sentiment in the past, today Indonesian Chinese have gradually integrated into mainstream society, contributing significantly to the country’s economy and culture.

Following closely is Thailand, home to around 10 million Chinese. Most Thai Chinese trace their roots to Guangdong and Fujian provinces, particularly in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Chonburi. They have played a key role in business, manufacturing, and culinary industries, and their cultural traditions, such as Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, remain widely celebrated throughout the country.

Malaysia ranks third, with a Chinese population of about 7.4 million, long established as one of the country’s major ethnic groups, especially in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor. Descendants of Fujian, Guangdong, and Hakka immigrants, Malaysian Chinese exert considerable influence in education, business, and politics. Their vibrant media and cultural organizations are central to the country’s multicultural landscape.

In Western countries, the United States has a Chinese population of roughly 5.5 million. Chinese communities are spread across states such as California, New York, and Texas, working in sectors including technology, healthcare, education, and commerce. The U.S. continues to attract skilled Chinese immigrants and students, forming an important hub for global Chinese innovation and business networks.

Singapore, with a high proportion of Chinese residents, is home to about 4.47 million Chinese. Chinese are not only the majority but also dominate politics, business, education, and cultural life. Mandarin is one of the official languages, and Chinese cultural traditions are deeply embedded in daily life, urban planning, and public celebrations.

Other countries and regions making the top ten include Canada, Myanmar, the Philippines, Peru, and Australia. In Canada, Chinese communities are mainly concentrated in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, involved in technology, education, and real estate. In Myanmar, Chinese residents are centered in Yangon and Mandalay, historically engaged in trade and artisanal industries. Although smaller in scale, Chinese communities in the Philippines, Peru, and Australia continue to have a significant economic and cultural presence, particularly in commerce and social networks.

Overall, the 2025 ranking shows that Chinese populations are densely concentrated in Southeast Asia while steadily growing in Western countries. Southeast Asian Chinese communities have centuries-long histories, creating deep social and economic roots, while Western Chinese communities are largely composed of recent immigrants and high-skilled talent, gradually expanding their influence. The ranking not only illustrates the global reach of Chinese populations but also reflects the diversity of integration, adaptation, and development of Chinese communities worldwide.
