  4. Topic: Forth Wave: Chinese Migration into Southeast Asia in the last 20 years: On the context of labor and capital flowing in China and ASEAN
  5. Commentator: Eric Tagliacozzo (Cornell University) (Visiting Research Fellow, CSEAS)
  6. Abstract:
    The forth wave of Chinese migrants into Southeast Asia constituted of a part of the tide of new Chinese emigration in the last 30 years since the Chinese government relaxed the forbid policy on overseas emigration.The rapid economic integration and the improved political relations between ASEAN and China resulted in new Chinese migration to Southeast Asia being possible and acceptable. Following the fast increasing of China’s export, Chinese investment and contracted project constructions in Southeast Asia, massive new Chinese migrants flew into Southeast Asia in the last 20 years. In early 2007 the number of new Chinese migrants possibly amounted to two and half million, and more than one-third of them concentrated in Myanmar. Although the new Chinese migrants engaged in all the occupations except politics, the traders and hawkers still consisted of the majority of migrants. Because the Chinese migrants into ASEAN brought a win-win situation to both sides, the trend of Chinese emigration for Southeast Asia will continue in a certain scale in near future on the context of globalization and the unstop growth of economic integration of China and ASEAN.
