This article is a further contribution to
the discourse on the ethnic ‘diffusion’ in
European countries — the debate started on
the pages of the Baltic Region journal by the
triumvirate of three authors — Yu. N. Gladky, I. Yu. Gladky, and K. Yu. Eidemiller [4].
We assume that Europe has been a major
centre of attraction for immigrants in recent
decades and a site for the rapid emergence
of ethnic communities. Unlike Muslim immigration — a product of the Arab Spring
and often a measure of the last resort, — the
Chinese immigration is a result of a certain
convergence between the ideologies of the
host countries, committed to multiculturalism, and the country of origin, pursuing a
‘go global’ policy. We chose the EU countries as a ‘demonstration site’ and the Chinese diaspora as the object of research. Our
aim is to describe the process of migration
from China and the formation of a Chinese
diaspora in European countries. We analyse
the timeline and scope of Chinese immigration, the qualitative changes in the composition of the immigrants, factors affecting the
choice of the country of entry, and the quantitative parameters and settlement patterns
of today’s Chinese diaspora in the region.
We suggest grouping the Baltic region
states by the numbers and ‘age’ of their
Chinese diasporas. We consider the ethnic
‘diffusion’ as part of the ‘European project’
within Beijing’s global strategy. |
