This dissertation examines the history of the making of "the overseas Chinese" (huaqiao) in China from 1890 to 1966. Emerged only in the 1890s, the term huaqiao referred broadly to Chinese sojourning from China during the course of an expansive project to incorporate Chinese abroad into the Chinese nation. The project was spearheaded in the late nineteenth century by diplomats, reformers, and revolutionaries, all of whom operated overseas and came to view huaqiao as a vital resource. This transnational vision of the nation remained central to Republican and Communist governance until the 1960s. But the huaqiao project itself was marked by constant change and vast heterogeneity, producing friction in many instances that upset the imagined union of China and Chinese abroad. As it turned out, huaqiao were not simply Chinese who lived elsewhere waiting to be awakened and led by the homeland. Rather, they emerged as a congeries of unruly elements encompassing intellectuals who brought conflicting ideas about nation and culture based on colonial experiences abroad in the 1920s and 1930s, transnational communities that posed a seeming threat to domestic political order in the 1950s, and returnees who came to Chinese shores from all backgrounds and were highly critical of government policies in the 1950s and 1960s. Troubled, declared obsolete in state discourses both in China and beyond during the 1960s, the huaqiao project is nonetheless unfinished. Revived and active is the notion that China is the cultural and ethnic homeland of Chinese globally, as expressed in the new terms, huaren (persons of Chinese culture) and huayi (persons of Chinese descent). The huaqiao project suggests that the making of an overseas Chinese identity always intersected with dilemmas of opportunity and belonging facing communities and nations in a globalizing world. The huaqiao project is unfinished because these dilemmas were not, and are unlikely to be, easily resolved.

Overseas Chinese in the People’s Republic of China examines the experiences of a group of persons known officially and collectively in the PRC as "domestic Overseas Chinese". They include family members of overseas migrants who remained in China, refugees fleeing persecution, and former migrants and their descendants who "returned" to the People’s Republic in order to pursue higher education and to serve their motherland. In this book, Glen Peterson describes the nature of the official state project by which domestic Overseas Chinese were incorporated into the economic, political and social structures of the People’s Republic of China in the 1950s, examines the multiple and contradictory meanings associated with being "domestic Overseas Chinese", and explores how "domestic Overseas Chineseness" as political category shaped social experiences and identities. This book fills an important gap in the literature on Chinese migration and Chinese transnationalism and will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of these subjects, as well as Chinese history and Asian Studies more generally.

For over 150 years, China’s interactions with its diaspora have evolved according to the domestic and international geopolitical environment. This relationship (broadly described as qiaowu) is most visible in the form of cultural and economic activities; however, its main purpose is to cultivate, influence, and manage ethnic Chinese as part of a global transnational project to rally support for its proponents. Qiaowu: Extra-Territorial Policies for the Overseas Chinese compares the rival policies and practices of the Chinese Communist Party with the Nationalist Kuomintang and Democratic Progressive Party governments of Taiwan. Political scientist James Jiann Hua To analyzes the role that qiaowu plays in harnessing the power of strategic overseas communities, and highlights the implications for China’s foreign relations.

Elena Barabantseva looks at the close relationship between state-led nationalism and modernisation, with specific reference to discourses on the overseas Chinese and minority nationalities. The interplay between modernisation programmes and nationalist discourses has shaped China’s national project, whose membership criteria have evolved historically. By looking specifically at the ascribed roles of China’s ethnic minorities and overseas Chinese in successive state-led modernisation efforts, This book offers new perspectives on the changing boundaries of the Chinese nation. It places domestic nation-building and transnational identity politics in a single analytical framework, and examines how they interact to frame the national project of the Chinese state. By exploring the processes taking place at the ethnic and territorial margins of the Chinese nation-state, the author provides a new perspective on China’s national modernisation project, clarifying the processes occurring across national boundaries and illustrating how China has negotiated the basis for belonging to its national project under the challenge to modernise amid both domestic and global transformations. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian politics, Chinese politics, nationalism, transnationalism and regionalism.

This dissertation explores the construction of huaqiao, the Chinese sojourner, and its representation in modern Chinese literature. By interrogating and problematizing the concepts of Chineseness and huaqiao, this project argues that "huaqiao" is essentially a misnomer warranting further examination at various levels. While unpacking and decoding the term ʻhuaqiao' and simultaneously delineating its historical inception and configurations, it critiques how ʻhuaqiao,' as a product of the Chineseness discourse, has become the unifying category used to label "overseas Chinese." Since the term was originally created, and is still being used to disseminate, reinforce, and perpetuate, a monolithic and essentialist Chinese identity, one cannot overlook or underestimate its entanglement with the construction and articulations of Chineseness. However, as this whole project contends, even though huaqiao has been construed as a displaced Chinese subject, at its inception it is already an identity in alterity. The sojourner's trajectories across times and places have acquired various definitions and meanings, making huaqiao as much a contested category as that of "Chineseness." Chapter One examines the discourse of Chineseness and how it has spawned the term "huaqiao" at different historical junctures and cultural spaces. It further engages in debates with various scholars to seek alternatives for critical interventions. Chapters Two explores a body of Nanyang (the South Seas) narratives produced by modern Chinese writers who sojourned in Nanyang between the 1920s and 1940s. It demonstrates how these writers, through travelogues, essays, memoirs, and fictions, construct Nanyang (and) huaqiao vis-à-vis the discourses of Chineseness, colonialism, and tropicality. Chapter Three examines mainly Eileen Chang's essays and novellas by focusing on an aspect rarely explored before, namely, how Chang uses the figures of (Nanyang) huaqiao to explore the construction of racial and cultural identities pertaining to notions of Chineseness. Chapter Four explores how the concept of racial and ethnic degeneration is projected onto the Nanyang huaqiao in Ding Ling's "Miss Sophia Diary." It argues that the construction of native Chinese female subjectivity is foremost predicated upon the construction of a Nanyang huaqiao body conceived as deviant and pathological.

The Chinese diaspora, consisting of both Chinese living overseas who are citizens of China (huaqiao), and people of Chinese descent who are citizens of foreign countries (huaren), have significantly shaped the making of modern China. China’s policy towards its diaspora is primarily governed by its national interests and foreign policy imperatives. However, the Chinese government has been careful to ensure that the huaqiao and the huaren fall into different policy domains: Chinese citizens living overseas are subject to China’s domestic policies, while Chinese descendants who are citizens of other countries come under China’s foreign affairs. Nevertheless, from the beginning, the latter continue to be regarded as kinsfolk distinct from other foreign nationals. The huaqiao-huaren distinction is often blurred in ordinary discourse and this has been a source of much misunderstanding. However, it has not been the policy of the Chinese government to blur this distinction, and it is acutely aware of the complexity of the issue and is therefore very cautious about implying any change. As such, when terms such as huaqiao-huaren are introduced in the official lexicon, they are meant to acknowledge certain historical and contemporary realities, and not to deliberately obfuscate the two categories. The use of the combined term is in fact a recognition of the clear-cut distinction between the two groups, and is meant to convey a semantic balance in which neither category is emphasized at the expense of the other. In general, since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese government has treated the diaspora as an asset, rather than a liability. The sole exception was during the Cultural Revolution when returnees, or the guiqiao, were condemned as reactionary and bourgeois elements. There is therefore a fundamental continuity in China’s diaspora policy: namely, that China embraces both groups as part of a global Chinese community. Some policy shifts can be expected in future as China becomes more proactive in reaching out to its diaspora while balancing the needs and interests of Chinese abroad with the needs and interests of the Mainland.
