This title was first published in 2003. Globalizing Chinese
Migration is the first volume to deal comprehensively with the most
recent wave of the migration from the People's Republic of China to
Europe and Asia. By analyzing the Chinese state's role in this
migration, the authors dismiss as fiction the theory (sometimes
advanced by hostile and racist foreign observers) that Chinese
authorities are intent on using mass emigration as an expansionist
tool. They go on to explain that migrants who might, in earlier
times, have been reviled as traitors and absconders are today more
likely to be viewed by sections of the Chinese state bureaucracy as
patriots who remain part of China's polity and economy and
contribute to its standing overseas. Some senior officials,
however, particularly diplomats, stress the harm done by new
migrants, both to China's economy (which loses assets as a result
of the migrants' entrepreneurial activities) and to its reputation
in the world. An essential resource for academics and students
alike, the volume presents important new data on aspects of Chinese
migration largely neglected in the existing English-language
literature. These include new forms of emigration from China (by
students and by workers from the country's north-eastern provinces)
and emigration to destinations (including Russia, Southeast Asia,
and Japan) normally unremarked by students of population movements.
