China has been investing: and giving loans into SE Asia. And its Ethnic Chinese Diaspora already dominate the economies of SE Asia where these SE Asian Countries in turn are dependent on the Chinese economy. They will have no choice but to follow the Chinese model of economic development

@ZhenYae yes Chinese Diaspora in SE Asia were the biggest FDI investors into China during its 3 decade double digit growth years Now they serve as a bridge for Chinese FDI/loans back into SE Asia these days 👇 Amid the shifting dynamics of changing regimes in recent centuries, Chinese migrants spread across the region to escape poverty or seek opportunity – becoming the 50 million “huaren” or “overseas Chinese,” those who are of Chinese ethnic descent but do not hold Chinese citizenship. Concentrated especially in Southeast Asia, where they account for more than three-quarters of the $369 billion in wealth held by Southeast Asian billionaires, their lives have become closely interlinked with the Chinese state and their economic power has made them a key target of Chinese Communist Power (CCP) soft power. However, with a complex history and an identity of their own, such ties are not as obvious as they may seem. The Diplomat

@verypleasantguy thanks for your opinion these are the facts 👇 Beyond as bridges: The role of the Chinese voluntary associations in Chinese outward foreign direct investment in Southeast Asia Conclusion This study focuses on the key research question of how CVAs organised and promoted by ethnic Chinese in host countries play a role in Chinese MNEs' OFDI in Southeast Asia. We address this question by adopting qualitative and comparative approaches to analyse the intermediary role of ethnic Chinese and CVAs involved in the OFDI process of Chinese MNEs and how their actions and interactions influence MNEs' local embeddedness. First, from the perspective of ‘global–local’ interactions, we analyse the role of CVAs in promoting the globalisation and localisation of Chinese MNEs. On the one hand, Chinese MNEs can effectively obtain global resources and information through the global contact network formed by institutionalised links between CVAs and their close communications and interactions, such as the periodic global/regional association conferences. On the other hand, Chinese MNEs can successfully realise local embeddedness through CVAs' bidirectional facilitative capacity formed by their long-term cultivation in the locality. The essential role of CVAs serving as a ‘bridge’ that connects the host country and China has been emphasised, which promotes mutual understanding and Chinese MNEs' local embeddedness. Second, considering the different types of CVAs, we unravel their different roles in promoting/hindering Chinese MNEs' OFDI. Comparatively speaking, the government-cooperative/sponsored CVAs and the privately-organised CVAs have their own advantages and disadvantages in shaping Chinese OFDI, while the ‘new’ CVAs generally play a more significant role in the process of Chinese MNEs' OFDI. This paper has demonstrated how Chinese MNEs' OFDI can achieve a ‘win-win’ outcome through interaction with CVAs and ethnic Chinese by focusing on cooperation cases. Moreover, we highlight how recent changes in the leadership, economic orientation, and activities of CVAs point towards a trend of closer ties with China (Liu, 2023). onlinelibrarywiley

@verypleasantguy if you are saying the Chinese diaspora has faced racism and violence in most instances because they are economically advantaged over the indigenous majority in those SE Asian Countries I agree and that is changing As new Chinese Nationals migrate to these countries and intermix with the older diaspora communities And China has shown they will send ships and planes in to get their nationals out 👇 China defends envoy to Malaysia after comments on racism By Reuters September 28, 2015 BEIJING (Reuters) - China on Monday defended the actions of its ambassador to Malaysia after he was summoned to clarify his remarks criticizing extremism and racism ahead of a planned pro-Malay rally in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.
