This book is a study of the return migration of overseas Chinese
students. By 2018, over 3.5 million Chinese students had returned
from overseas universities to China, with the megacities of
Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen representing by far their main
destinations. In other words, when overseas students return to
China, many do not return to their hometown but usually land, work
and settle down in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Their return
migration is thus not only transnational, but also internal-urban.
This book adopts a multi-level geographical analysis to explore
this important phenomenon, exploring why and how returnees choose
these three cities and how they experience and interpret their
everyday lives in these megacities after their return. In doing so,
it highlights the importance of cultural logics and multiscalar
thinking of transnational Chinese students’ return migration and
illuminates how their transnational migration reproduces domestic
socio-spatial inequalities. This book brings an important
contribution to the fields of Cultural Geography, Urban Geography,
Transnationalism, Migration Studies and Citizenship Studies.
