No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a ―banana person‖.

They are overseas 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 not people of the People‘s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him.
