The countries of the former Soviet bloc – Russia, Eastern Europe and the countries of Central Asia – have a disproportionately high number of Chinese immigration. In many of these countries Chinese immigrants are engaged in entrepreneurial activities, often dominating key sectors of the economy. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Chinese migration to these countries. It explores how Chinese migration has come about, discusses the motivation of the migrants and examines the significant contribution the migrants are making. The book relates Chinese migration to wider issues of globalisation and international business, and assesses the idea that Chinese migrants seem to thrive in ravaged countries deemed too risky by institutional businesses.
