The Chinese in Hawaiʻi frequently referred to by their Hawaiian name Pākē constitute about 4.7% of the state’s population most of whom (75%) have ancestors from Zhongshan in Guangdong. This number does not include people of mixed Chinese and Hawaiian descent. If all people with Chinese ancestry in Hawaiʻi (including the Chinese-Hawaiians) are included they form about 1/3 of Hawaii’s entire population. As United States citizens they are a group of Chinese Americans.
