China's Rise And The Chinese Overseas

Since the 1978 opening up of China and its active engagement in economic reformation and modernization, China has become a truly global economic power. These developments have had an impact on ethnic Chinese people living across the world. This book focuses on exogenous factors that have shaped the lives of the Chinese diaspora and explores how China’s contemporary global position has affected the identities of Chinese communities in different regions. It discusses the effects of China’s rise on migration patterns, social and economic relations, and perceptions of Chinese communities internationally.
