As of 2018, there were approximately 60,000 Chinese people living in Pakistan.
The population of Chinese expatriates in Pakistan has significantly increased over recent years, largely due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). This increase is a key factor in the current number of Chinese residents.
