Temporal and geographical dynamics of Chinese migration are linked to global expansion and geopolitics so that motives for emigrating vary over time. ƒ Chinese entrepreneurialism is a product of networks not an innate cultural characteristic. ƒ Migrants tended to come from Southern China, but this pattern is breaking down as internal migration in China is freed up. ƒ Main migration has been to South Africa, Mauritius and Madagascar, but patterns follow economic opportunity and so there has been a diversification of destination countries.
