Korean immigrants faced similar problems to immigrants from all around the world. Koreans nowadays choose to move to China in search of economic and employment opportunities, a better quality of life in terms of healthcare, cost of living, as well as better policies. During the Korean war (formally known to happen from 1950-1953), Korean citizens experienced Diaspora, in which they were persecuted, oppressed, uprooted from their homeland, and relocated to new regions of the world. However, moving into the host country was not always welcoming for these groups who encountered indifference from the majority population in China, and found themselves segregated from the other groups. Studies have shown that individuals that are members of ethnic minority groups often are more likely to perceive discrimination from majority groups. As a result, the Korean-Chinese community formed a tight bond and developed positive ethnic identity, providing a sense of belonging and pride.
