英国最新人口普查数据显示，英国华裔人口约40万人，占居民总数的0.7%。在2001年的英国人口普查中，华裔人口所占比例为0.4%。

London (CNS)--There are about 400,000 British Chinese living in the United Kingdom, accounting for 0.7 percent of the total population, according to the 2011 census for England and Wales released this week.

The proportion of Chinese was 0.4 percent in the 2001 census.

The survey indicates that the UK has a more diversified population than it did 10 years ago, due largely to increased migration.

The British government conducts the census every 10 years to better understand the basic living conditions of the country's residents. The data is used for public services, social policy-making and academic research.
