Chinese Migrants in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe, Paperback / softback Book

Chinese Migrants in Russia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe Paperback / softback

Edited by Felix B. (University of Cincinnati College of Law, USA) Chang, Sunnie T. Rucker-Chang

Part of the Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Much of the former Soviet bloc has become a destination for new Chinese migrants.

Throughout Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Chinese migrants are engaged in entrepreneurial activities, primarily as petty merchants of consumer goods in unsteady economies.

This book situates these migrants within the broader context of Chinese globalization and China’s economic "rise." It traces the origins of Chinese migration into the region, as well as the conditions that have allowed migrants to thrive.

Furthermore, it discusses the perception that Chinese globalization is purely economic and explores the relationship among petty merchants, labourers and institutional investors.

Finally, by examining the movement of China’s minorities into Central Asia, this book challenges the ethnic construct of new "Chinese" migration.
