The border regions and the innermost ones, although characterized by low densities, they recorded higher than average increases, due both to the positive natural balance and to immigration in support of economic development and military defense. According to 800zipcodes, the population density also shows significant variations and, compared to the average of 141.45 residents / km² of the entire country, there are 3 residents / km² in Tibet and over 772 residents. km² in Jiangsu. Overall, the western provinces of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, Qinghai, Xinjiang Uygur, which represent 55% of the national territory, account for a population of just under 6% of the total, while almost 50% of the Chinese are concentrated in a an area that constitutes only 10% of the entire country, in particular in the plains of the Northeast and in the lower Chang Jiang valley. From an ethnic point of view, the Han remain largely dominant, but they have a slower rate of growth than that of the 55 minority groups. Over the centuries, following the excessive demographic pressure of certain areas, there were displacements of populations towards the newly conquered lands (in the years 1920-50 there was an impressive migration, which brought at least twenty million Chinese from the central and southern provinces in Manchuria, following the mining exploitation of that region which also lent itself to agricultural colonization).
In addition to internal migrations there were exodus of the Chinese abroad: from the beginning of the century. XIX strong are the migrations of Chinese to neighboring countries, Europe, the American continent and Japan: although migratory movements escape any possible quantitative estimate, it is estimated that following the excessive demographic pressure of certain areas, there were displacements of populations towards the newly conquered lands (in the years 1920-50 there was an impressive migration, which brought at least twenty million Chinese from the central and southern provinces in Manchuria, following the mining exploitation of that region which also lent itself to agricultural colonization).

The Chinese now represent 74.2% of the population in Singapore, 24% in Malaysia, 10.3% in Brunei.
