Chinese diaspora in Singapore

Chinese Singaporeans, Singaporean Chinese or Sino-Singaporeans (traditional Chinese: 新加坡華人/華裔新加坡人; simplified Chinese: 新加坡华人/华裔新加坡人; pinyin: Xīnjiāpō Huárén / Huáyì Xīnjiāpōrén) are Singaporeans of Han Chinese ancestry. Chinese Singaporeans constitute 75.9% of the Singaporean resident population according to the official census, making them the largest ethnic group in Singapore, being the majority, whereas Malays and Indians are minorities.

The Chinese middle school student riots were a series of riots in Singapore that broke out between the Chinese community in 1956, resulting in 13 people killed and more than 120 injured.

The Peranakan Chinese are an ethnic group defined by their genealogical descent from the first waves of Southern Chinese settlers to maritime Southeast Asia, known as Nanyang (Chinese: 南洋; pinyin: nán yáng; 'Southern Ocean'), namely the British, Portuguese, and Dutch colonial ports in the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian Archipelago, as well as Singapore. The Peranakan Chinese are often simply referred to as the Peranakans. Peranakan culture, especially in the dominant Peranakan centres of Malacca, Singapore, Penang, Phuket, and Tangerang, is characterized by its unique hybridization of ancient Chinese culture with the local cultures of the Nusantara region, the result of a centuries-long history of transculturation and interracial marriage.

The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI; traditional Chinese: 新加坡中華總商會; simplified Chinese: 新加坡中华总商会; pinyin: Xīnjīapō Zhōnghuá Zǒngshānghuì) is a business chamber located in Singapore.
