Part I The immigration of Korean and the formation of Korea nationality inChinaThe Korea nationality is one of the 56 nationalities in China. Characterized by migrant culture, the Korean opened up large areas of wasteland in Northeastern China, and created their happy life there. As the reforming and opening to the world, in China, the Korea nationality goes into a new era of opportunities and challenges.The large scale of immigration of Korean into China began at around the middle 19th century. Partly caused by the invasion of Japan to Korea, and partly by the natural calamities those years, and partly by the ban lift of Qing government in the boundary, large population of Korean immigrated into Northeastern China In 1910, the movement of so called "Unity of Korea and Japan" strengthened the flow of immigration of the Korean, meanwhile Japan, by the colonist policy to Korea, implemented a compelling immigration among Korean. As a result, at 1920's, the population of Korean in Northeastern China reached around 460 thousand, while by 1945 when Japan surrendered, the statistic in this area has reached up to 1.7 million. The Korean in China has become a nationality minority, and on 3, September, 1952, they set up their autonomy region named as Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture of Chaoxian Nationality.Part II The Chaoxian nationality (Korean) in China the unified and multiplenationalities countryAfter the declaration of "The Korean in Manchu is one of the nationalities in China " in the 6th Congress of CPC (Communist Party of China) in 1928, on December, 1948, the Yanbian Committee of CPC declared that, "the Korea inhabiting in Yanbian region is recognized as one nationality minority in China and this region is one part of People's Republic of China".The Korean in China have greatly contributed in China's revolution and construction.
