Chinese people in Germany form one of the smaller and less-studied groups of overseas Chinese in Europe. 2005 figures from Germany's Federal Statistical Office showed 71,639 People's Republic of China nationals living in Germany, making them the second-largest group of immigrants from Asia. Of those, only 3,142, or 4.3%, were born in Germany, far below the average of 20% for all non-citizens. Scholars estimate that Germany is home to tens of thousands more ethnic Chinese with other citizenships. Between 2004 and 2007, a total of 4,213 PRC nationals naturalised as German citizens. The total number of all Ethnic Chinese in Germany is estimated to be at around 110,000, including those from Taiwan, Singapore and other countries with significant Chinese minorities.
