跨国与无奈:全球化时代的海外华商研究

既往的跨国移民研究中,较少有学者关注到"跨国"带给移民的困扰及问题。本文以从事义乌小商品等中国商品贸易的海外华商为研究对象,立足于南非约翰内斯堡、义乌及青田三地的问卷调查、深度访谈之基础上,从生活"两重天"、家庭碎片化、隔洋难尽孝三方面尝试勾勒出因跨国而带给他们的无奈,以期为既有的跨国移民研究增添另一个面相。     

意大利华商群体的起源、发展与特征

自19世纪末青田商人赴意大利起,华商在意大利奋斗已历经百余年。一战后,未被遣返而辗转至意大利的华工与20世纪20—30年代赴意的华人一起构成早期旅意华侨华人群体。其中,贩卖石雕和生活用品的"行商"及少数开办餐馆和杂货店的"坐商"共同构成第一批意大利华商。20世纪80年代以后,随着中国大陆改革开放后出国政策和意大利移民政策的宽松,以浙南农民为主体的新移民来到意大利,从事服装、皮革、餐饮和外贸等行业。意大利华商迅速壮大,成为欧洲各国华商中既具有典型性又具有自身特色的群体。

17-18世纪越南海外贸易中的华商及其构成初探

作为17-18世纪越南海外贸易中最重要的外商群体,华商主导了越南与日本、中国及东南亚的贸易。参与其中的华商包括：清政府解除海禁前纵横于远东海域的郑氏武装海商集团;开禁之后赴越中国海商的主体——东南沿海民间散商;侨居越南及东南亚其他国家的华商。他们共同推动了越南融入远东海洋贸易体系的进程。

外商在义乌

走进有着“华夏第一市”美称的义乌中国小商品城,不论是在篁园市场还是宾王市场,喧闹的人群中,人们不时可以看到操着英语、德语、俄语、韩语的一群群国外商人。他们时而认真挑选商品,时而精明地与摊主讨价还价,一批批小商品通过这些外商,从这里源源不断地输送到世界各地。义乌市市场发展局局长吴波成说:“现在每天常驻义乌采购的外商有1000多人,去年小商品销往120多个国家和地区,出口额达50亿元,这些外商是义乌小商品外贸出口的主力军!”

Small City,Big Ambition

If China is indeed the factory of the world, then Yiwu, a small city in eastern Zhejiang Province, would be its headquarters. A small commodity trade center established in this rural area in early 1980s as a test field to spearhead local economic development has grown fast to become what is now the world's largest market for small commodities.     

New Migrants and the Revival of Overseas Chinese Nationalism

Emerging at the turn of the twentieth century, overseas Chinese nationalism played an important part in the evolution of the overseas Chinese community and modern history of China. It is generally held that overseas Chinese nationalism had died out and had become ‘a historical phenomenon’ by the 1950s, when the China-centered allegiance of the overseas Chinese was replaced by a local-oriented identity. The fundamental change of the Chinese diasporic communities over the last two decades, however, has put this conventional wisdom into contestation. This essay is concerned with the emergence of the xin yinmin (new migrants) and corresponding manifestations of a reviving overseas Chinese nationalism since 1980. It is divided into two main parts. The first is empirical, examining the rise and characteristics of the new migrants, who are composed of four main types: students-turned-migrants, emigrating professionals, chain migrants, and illegal immigrants. The second section is conceptual and comparative, looking at the manifestations and limitations of the reviving overseas Chinese nationalism and placing them in a historical perspective. It also considers the embedded tensions between nationalism and transnationalism and the strategies employed by both the Chinese state and new migrants in tackling these tensions. I argue that there are complex reasons behind the re-emergence of overseas Chinese nationalism. From overseas, it is a by-product of the formation of sizeable new migrant communities, particularly in the West. As the first-generation immigrants who have extensive links with the homeland, they remain culturally, and often, politically, attached to China (as a nation-state and/or site of transnational imaginary) and are concerned greatly with Chinese matters. Through such intermediaries as Chinese-language newspapers, websites and TV programs, they form a borderless and imagined greater China that is bound by both the ideas of sovereignty and transnational culture. From the mainland, a series of policies relating to the Chinese overseas facilitate the connections between China and its population overseas, thus providing a potential ground for the revival of overseas Chinese nationalism. I argue that the key agendas of this reviving overseas Chinese nationalism are China's economic prosperity, cultural regeneration, and national unification. This nationalism, furthermore, is characterized by its reactive nature and embedded contradictions with the simultaneous process of transnationalism, which in turn reduces the centrality and intensity of nationalism. As a result, it is unlikely to constitute a unified ideology or a movement with centralized leadership such as that in the 1930s.     

改革开放与跨国（地区）投资历程考察

改革开放30余年,中国从封闭半封闭状态走向对外开放。改革开放前,中外经济关系主要是对外贸易与对外经济合作。改革开放以来的巨大变化突出体现为跨国（地区）直接投资,主要包括“引进来”与“走出去”。始于改革开放初期的“引进来”,发展到“引进来”与“走出去”并行;21世纪初,随着中国加入WTO和政策法规体系逐渐完备,中外之间的跨国（地区）投资进入新的阶段。     

改革开放以来福建省侨捐政策及其落实研究

改革开放以来,福建省在坚持中央侨捐政策的同时,也因地制宜地制订了一些相关的条例法规。有关部门并以合理引导侨捐流向、做好侨捐表彰工作、进行侨捐项目数据库建设、认真整改等手段,推进侨捐政策的落实,实践中并已初显成效。但与此同时,在落实过程中也存在着观念滞后、监管不力等问题,并因此而影响到福建省侨捐事业的顺利发展和海内外同胞关系的和谐,需要加以纠正。

China's Libya Evacuation Operation: a new diplomatic imperative—overseas citizen protection

This article examines China's response to the 2011 Libya crisis and the emergence of a new diplomatic imperative: overseas citizen protection. Over a 12-day period in February and March 2011, China evacuated more than 35,000 Chinese nationals from civil war torn Libya, testing the overseas crisis management capacity of the Chinese government. Because of increasing domestic pressure to protect the growing population of Chinese citizens abroad, Beijing is developing its diplomatic and military capabilities to manage and mitigate crises overseas. The large-scale Libya evacuation served as a wake-up call for Beijing, that conducting business in high risk countries around the world comes at a price; as a consequence, Beijing will be compelled to reassess its global strategic posture and foreign policy principles.     

Involuntary Migrants,Political Revolutionaries and Economic Energisers: a history of the image of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia

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.     

中国FTA战略对双边贸易依存度的影响研究

随着经济全球化不断地深入发展,区域经济一体化也正在加速发展,双边FTA不断在国家之间签署,以自由贸易区为主要形式的区域贸易安排不断出现。该文选取2002年-2017年中国和FTA协议国双边的贸易数据,运用PSM-DID模型分析中国签订FTA对双边贸易依存度的影响如何。研究结果发现:第一,签订FTA对中国和协议国双方的贸易依存度具有提升作用;第二,中国与不同发展程度、不同区域类型的国家签订FTA对双边贸易依存度的影响不同,与发达国家签订FTA对双边贸易依存度的提升作用比发展中国家作用明显,与周边国家签订FTA对双边贸易依存度的影响也更大。     

Transnational Ties,HIV/AIDS Prevention and State–Minority Relations in Sipsongpanna,Southwest China

This paper depicts the transnational ethnic and religious ties between China and Southeast Asia and examines the cultural, political and economic implications for state–minority relations in Southwest China. It documents how transnational ethnic and religious ties facilitate cultural revival among the ethnic Dai people in Southwest China and examines the impact of Buddhist networks on local governance. In particular, it portrays the cooperative relationship between the Chinese state and the Buddhist Sangha on social issues such as HIV/AIDS prevention and care. The paper argues that the Chinese state is more willing to cooperate with transnational ethnic and religious groups when the latter can help improve local governance and generate economic development, under the condition that they do not challenge the state's ultimate legitimacy and authority.     

What is Chinese about Chinese Businesses? Locating the ‘rise of China’ in global production networks

There is an implicit but commonly held assumption that Chinese businesses are distinctively Chinese. Casting them in unitary and national terms, this assumption has often provided the underpinnings for the conception of the strength of Chinese businesses as signs of an emerging China threat. Drawing on a global production networks (GPN) approach, this paper aims to question the assumption by arguing that many Chinese businesses, embedded in the expanding global and regional production networks, have taken on important transnational characteristics. Given these transnational connections, Chinese business networks in both ‘Greater China’ and China proper are characterized more by diversity and fragmentation than by cultural coherence and homogeneity. This analysis of the transnationalization and fragmentation of contemporary Chinese businesses helps better understand and respond to the complex challenge posed by the economic dynamism in China.
