海外华人华侨族群特征及其集聚地域系统研究

Overseas Chinese are able to bear hardships and stand hard work. They are ingenious, industrious and make outstanding contribution to the society's economy and prosperity of the country where they live. Since ethnic Chinese became citizen of the country where they live, they began to have definite national identity and integrate themselves into the mainstream society of the country where they live. Because of the different and complicated conditions of the countries where ethnic Chinese live, there are very big differences in the integration of ethnic Chinese with the indegenous people. When ethnic Chinese participate in politics extensively and positively and become one of society's nucleuses of the country where they live, the rights and interests in aspects of economy and culture might just be safegarded. 4-5 million of new Chinese emigration which migrated since 1970s from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan and re-migrated from South East Asia lead to 4-time increase in population of ethnic Chinese and unprecedented great changes in their quality in developed countries. A society of ethnic Chinese which is composed mainly of emigration of the first generation, young, very closed with their motherland and has the strong flavour of Chinese culture comes out in developed countries. Ethnic Chinese has plural cultural identity. Based on their mentality of nation and Chinese culture, they strive for minority's equal position in the country where they live. In the meantime, They hope to vitalize China and have a motherland of a country powerful and prosperous day by day. The great role which ethnic Chinese "resources" played to the development of motherland has been proved by the fact of the high-speed development of eastern coast area and the beginning development of central and western area since the policy of reform and openning. Qualified scientists and technicians among new Chinese emigration have played prominent role in the development of high science and technology in their hometown of China's west. If sound environment for investment has been constructed, there is a broad prospect in drawing further the "resources" of ethnic Chinese into the development of west China. This research provides scientific base for policy making in the system of overseas Chinese affairs to keep national mentality of new generation of ethnic Chinese,to strive for their rights and interests, and to mantain their link to promote the communication and cooperation between the country where they live and their motherland.
