Singapore is the only country in the world outside China that has a majority Chinese population (76% as of 2020) and even then it has a place called “Chinatown”. I could understand this as Singapore was a British colony from 1819 to the 1950s and there were certain places the ethnic communities historically lived and these places today are of heritage importance and are called “Chinatown”, “Malay Village” and “Little India”. But I was really surprised to see that there was also a “Chinatown” in Beijing.
