In the 1980s, Chinese migration to Europe entered a qualitatively and quantitatively different phase, whose full ramifications only became apparent in the 1990s. In the most general of terms, these changes can be attributed to the fact that throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, Europe’s Chinese migration system had remained profoundly parochial. A handful of sending areas specialized in European migration and the flows that they generated often had little to do with the global trends in Chinese migration. Although the special characteristics of Europe’s Chinese migration system are still there, notably in the flows of New Territories Hong Kong Chinese to northwestern Europe and of southern Zhejiang Chinese to continental Europe, the changes in the global Chinese migration system rapidly caught up with the continent in the 1980s and 1990s.
