Abstract
The chapter aims to examine the economic and cultural impacts of this new wave of Chinese migration from the People's Republic of China (PRC) through the lens of Sydney's Chinatown, a long-time popular 'point of entry' for Chinese migrants. Based on in-depth interviews with Chinatown stakeholders, this chapter seeks to capture the complex social, economic and cultural processes through which this new Chinese diaspora has helped transform Chinatown, shedding light on the changing meaning of 'Chineseness' in contemporary Australia.
