- W2183675286 abstract "*The noun diaspora (“the scattered ones”) aptly characterises the dispersal of Chinese migrants to Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific. In the year 2000, more than 34 million Chinese were living in 140 countries outside Mainland China and Taiwan. Reflecting long-term historical trends, 80 percent of them still resided in Southeast Asia. Although Chinese are scattered across the planet, those outside the mainland cluster together and form a variety of communication networks. Indeed, “the study of the Overseas Chinese has by now become a global enterprise, raising new theoretical problems and empirical challenges.” 1 The online presence of Chinese in China 2 and of Overseas or diasporic Chinese has become an important cultural, historical and political fact potentially involving large numbers of people in most countries. Some of these diasporic Chinese have created websites and other means of online communication like e-mail networks, bulletin boards, chat rooms and blogs. This research note begins with the online presence of Chinese diaspora before considering the themes that characterise diasporic websites. It starts by summarising and analysing the Southern Seas subset of twenty-seven websites taken from an experts’ sample of one hundred and ten websites concerning Chinese diaspora. Initiated by the author in May 2003, this database is the Chinese Cultures Abroad WWW Virtual Library . It is now an official module of the China WWW Virtual Library and the Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library. It is worth noting at the start that, unlike English, in Chinese language there are at least three overlapping terms that may refer to the Chinese diaspora. In Putonghua or Mandarin, Huaren means “ethnic Chinese”. In contradistinction, Huaqiao means “Overseas Chinese”. This has the connotation of Chinese citizens who happen to live outside China. Several websites evaluated in the Directory fall into this category. Finally, Huayi means “people of Chinese descent”. The English phrase Chinese diaspora sometimes bridges several of those meanings, and if it sometimes seems politically more neutral, it nonetheless still carries the etymologically passive Greek baggage of having been “scattered”. Online presence of Chinese diaspora Construction of the database. The “Chinese Cultures Abroad WWW Virtual Library” was first initiated by the author as the Chinese Cultures Abroad Directory in May 2003. It is an online library that links, documents, annotates, and evaluates a steadily growing number of websites. By 2007, this number had reached one hundred and ten. Most of" @default.
