China is connected by land to Europe. So… Is a Chinese National moving to France technically “overseas”? I mean technically you could tavel by land there?
🤔🤔🤔
the dictionary is a lie…

I think the term “Chinese diaspora” is more appropriate.
edit : What I mean is that this word (overseas) no longer necessarily reflects today’s reality; it should be obsolete, like many other words nowadays. Languages are alive.
It’s only a diaspora if it comes from the diaspora region of the Middle-East. Otherwise it’s just sparkling migration
Yes, originally, but the words are also used in their extended meaning.
