Chinatown Report: Chinatown News from around the World
A Chinatown (Chinese: 唐人街/華埠/中國城, Cantonese jyutping: tong4 jan4 gaai1, Yale: tohng yahn gāai, Mandarin Pinyin: Tángrénjiē/Huá Bù/Zhōngguó Chéng ) is truly any ethnic enclave of Chinese or Han individuals outside China, Taiwan and Singapore. Territories known as "Chinatown" exist all through the world, including the Americas, Europe, Africa
The Oxford Dictionary characterizes "Chinatown" as "... a region of any non-Chinese town, particularly a city or seaport, in which the populace is prevalently of Chinese origin".However, as per a TV slot in Hawaii, that definition is not as a matter of course valid, as they said Chinatowns these days have little to do with China. Considerably further, the line between Little Saigon and Chinatown is obscured as some "Vietnamese" enclaves are actually some city's "second Chinatown", and some "Chinatowns" are truth be told container Asian, which means they could likewise be considered Koreatown or Little India.
Further ambiguities with the term can incorporate Chinese ethnoburbs which by definition are "...suburban ethnic groups of local locations and business regions in vast metropolitan zones where the proposed object is to be "... as secluded from the white populace as Hispanics". A New York Times article obscures the line further by ordering altogether different Chinatowns, for example, New York's Chinatown, which exists in a urban setting as "conventional", Monterey Park's Chinatown which exists in a "rural" setting (and named thusly), and Austin Texas' Chinatown, which is basically a "Chinese themed shopping center", known as "created". This stands out from smaller definitions, where the term just depicted Chinatown in a city setting
