China diaspora in Vietnam

People from China in Vietnam meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from China live in Vietnam?

According to the United Nations, 83,900 people from China live in Vietnam.

In total, 8,760,000 people from China live abroad, and about 1% of them live in Vietnam.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from China in Vietnam

No community for people from China exists in Vietnam on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Hanoï and Hô Chi Minh-Ville, and each one can host its community.

Joining the China community in Vietnam

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
