In The Price and Promise of Specialness, Jin Li Lim revises
narratives on the overseas Chinese and the People's Republic of
China by analysing the Communist approach to 'overseas Chinese
affairs' in New China's first decade as a function of a larger
political economy. Jin Li Lim shows how the party-state centred its
approach towards the overseas Chinese on a perception of their
financial utility and thus sought to offer them a special identity
and place in New China, so as to unlock their riches. Yet, this
contradicted the quest for socialist transformation, and as its
early pragmatism fell away, the radicalising party-state abandoned
its promises to the overseas Chinese, who were left to pay the
price for their difference.
