So, when a person is a “banana”, he or she is white insidethinking like a Westerner and yellow outsidelooking like a Chinese.Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them dont speak Chinese. But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are overseas（海外的）Chinese. These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens. They are people of the Peoples Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang（杨振宁）.
