  • Involuntary Migrants, Political Revolutionaries and Economic Energisers: a History of the Image of Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia GORDON C
    Journal of Contemporary China (2005), 14(42), February, 55–66 Involuntary Migrants, Political Revolutionaries and Economic Energisers: a history of the image of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia GORDON C. K. CHEUNG* Along the contemporary migration history of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, three distinctive images have been constructed through the interaction between the overseas Chinese and Mainland China. First, the image of involuntary migrant, formulated by their migration activity and the continuous remittance they sent back to their hometowns, closely linked to the political and social-economic disturbances in the early years of the twentieth century. Second, the image of the overseas Chinese as political revolutionary was heavily politicised by the revolutionary policies of Mainland China in the 1950s and 1960s. Third, through the operational means of foreign direct investment, the overseas Chinese image of economic energiser was re-focused and mirror-imaged with the imperative of the economic reform of Mainland China in the 1970s and 1980s. On the one hand, the images of involuntary migrant, political revolutionary and economic energiser of the Southeast Asian overseas Chinese describe their situational status. On the other hand, these images also reflect the contemporary historical development of Mainland China. Whatever the reasons for studying the Overseas Chinese, there is no doubt that they are a bona fide object of research. The diversity of cultures represented by these people, the diversity of settings in which they have found themselves, the wide differences in the histories of specific Chinese ‘colonies’, all of these things make them a fascinating laboratory for social scientists of various disciplinary bents.1 In Southeast Asia the capitalists were the Chinese.

  • The Greater China Area: Retrospect and Prospect
    12 The Greater China Area: Retrospect and Prospect The king of the state of Wei intended to attack Handan. Ji Liang heard of this and went to see the king, and said: “Your majesty, on my way here I saw a man driving his carriage which was facing north. He told me that he wanted to go to the state of Chu. ‘Why are you going north?’ I asked. ‘I have fine horses,’ he said. ‘Even though you have good horses, this is not the road to Chu,’ I pointed out. ‘I have plenty of money for my jour- ney,’ he said. ‘But this is not the right direction,’ I said. ‘I have an excellent driver for my carriage,’ he said. The better are the resources, the further he was going from Chu. Now you seek to raise above all the kings and win the support of the common people everywhere. However, you plan to extend your territo- ries and raise your prestige by attacking Handan, relying on the powerful strength of your state and the well-trained soldiers. This is as effective as going north hoping to reach the state of Chu.” – Zhanguoce (475–221 BC) 12.1 Historical evolution The Greater China area is defined in this chapter as one which includes Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China.1 In spite of their com- mon history, cultural and linguistic homogeneity, in recent decades the four economic areas have followed divergent political systems, which have resulted in different social and economic performances. As soon as the PRC was founded in 1949, mainland China had effectively adopted and practised a Marxist-Leninist command economy as imposed by the Soviet Union, before it decided to introduce structural reform in the 296 G.

  • Economic Interdependence and the Development of Cross-‐Strait
    Lu 1 Economic Interdependence and the Development of Cross-Strait Relations To what degree can economic interdependence encourage peace in the inherently conflictual relationship between China and Taiwan? Undergraduate Honors Thesis, Sanford School of Public Policy Duke University, Durham, NC Michelle Lu December 2011 Professor Jentleson Professor Kelley 2 Lu Abstract By measuring the extent to which improved economic relations between China and Taiwan has led to improved political relations, this proJect uses the case of cross-Strait relations to test the idea that economic interdependence encourages peace. Trade ties and indicators of political relations measure the extent to which economic interdependence can encourage peace and work toward conflict resolution in an inherently conflictual relationship. Economic interdependence expands contacts between states, encourages the building of cooperative institutions, and introduces new incentives for peace over conflict. This paper argues that economic interdependence is not sufficient to resolve political conflict, but it builds an environment conducive to improved political relations and easing of tensions. These improvements are not high-level, political, diplomatic ties but rather the building of lower level political and societal exchange. Trade relations have grown between China and Taiwan from 2003 and 2011, and this economic interdependence is correlated with expanded interaction in tourism, transportation, political dialogue and cultural exchange. These effects allow for greater mutual understanding and contact, which create a reciprocal effect by contributing to increased economic interaction. While progress in cross-Strait relations is constrained by the internal politics of both China and Taiwan at any moment, the United States plays an important role in reinforcing the positive effects of economic interdependence.
