Indians in China are migrants from the Republic of India to the People's Republic of China and their descendants, the majority of whom are East Indians, mainly being from West Bengal and Bihar. There is also a significant proportion of North Indians (such as Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim). Only 550 Indians have citizenship in China. In modern times, there is a large long-standing community of Indians living in Hong Kong, often for descendants with several generations of roots and a growing population of students, traders and employees in mainland China.
