Terminology
In the media of South Korea of the 1990s, Koreans in China were called jungguk-in (Hangul: 중국인; Hanja: 中國人). However, government regulations in 2004 forced the usage of the term jaeoe dongpo ("brothers and sisters who live abroad"). Similarly friendly terms include hanguk gye jungguk-in (Hangul: 조선계 중국인; Hanja: 朝鮮系中國人; "Chinese people of Korean descent") or jungguk dongpo (brothers and sisters in China). However, the common term in South Korea is joseon-jok (Hangul: 조선족; Hanja: 朝鲜族), which faces criticism from Korean Chinese for being a less friendly term than those for other overseas Koreans like Korean Americans (jaemi gyopo, "Brothers and sisters in America") or Koreans in Japan (jaeil gyopo, "Brothers and sisters in Japan").
