论中国人移民东南亚的四次大潮

中国人移民东南亚历史，根据其动力和规模，可分为四次大潮。东南亚为中国海外移民的最主要目的地。中国人大规模移民东南亚始于17世纪，盛于20世纪上半叶，历三波移民高潮。20世纪50年代初期至中国改革开放前，移民东南亚工程中断。随着大陆改革开放及中国与东南亚经济合作的飞速发展，中国人重启移民东南亚热潮。虽然推动不同时期的移民潮各有其不同的国内外因素，但就四次大规模移民潮而言，中国与东南亚的经贸发展和合作都是主要动力之一。随着中国与东南亚经济一体化进程加速，如中国与东南亚的政治关系保持良好，前往东南亚的移民潮仍将继续。与此同时，东南亚各国进入中国的移民也将日益增多，并呈加速之势。

On the Four waves:history of Chinese migration into Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia had been the main destination for Chinese migration. The history of Chinese migration into Southeast Asia can be divided into four waves. The first wave of Chinese migration into Southeast Asia in great scale started from the 17th century onwards and after three waves the Chinese migration reached its peak in the middh of the 20th century, and more than 10 million Chinese migrants and their descents lived in Southeast Asia. Along with the growth of Sino-Southeast Asian economic cooperation and the re-openness of China since the late 1970s, the Chinese re-started the fourth wave of migration into Southeast Asia. The trend of Chinese migration into Southeast Asia will continue in a certain scale in the near future as the bilateral political relations keep stable and in turn, a great number of Southeast Asians will flow into China in the context of economic integration.
