This study examines the impact of migration on women's positions in Chinese rural households. A number of studies have found that rural Chinese migrant women experience more autonomy and freedom in urban areas than they would at home. But do these experiences carry over into marriage when they return to rural areas? Using a survey of more than 3,000 married, rural women in Anhui and Sichuan provinces and controlling for potential endogeneity of migration and return, this paper explores four main categories of women's status: women's views on male/female relationships, women's roles in household decision making, women's relationships with their husbands, and women's views concerning parents and children. It concludes that for women from Anhui and Sichuan, migration has some statistically significant lasting effects on a woman's position in the household, though the effects are not always positive, nor are they universal.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: International students face dissimilar food environments, which could lead to changes in dietary behaviors and anthropometric characteristics between before and after migration. We sought to examine the risk factors, including dietary behaviors, acculturation, and demographic characteristics, related to overweight subjects residing in South Korea.

We estimate a skill-based directional migration model to assess the effects of regional human capital agglomeration on labor migration in China. Upon accounting for regional differentials in skill-based compensation, cost-of-living, amenities, and the like, model estimates indicate the importance of destination human capital concentration to high-skill migrants. In marked contrast, low-skill migrants are found to have little incentive to co-locate with high-skill workers, likely reflecting institutional and other impediments to human capital investment among low-skill migrants. Research findings suggest the importance of human capital agglomeration benefits to disparate regional growth trajectories in China.

There is a dearth of data on the association of internal migration with mental health in young rural Chinese. This study aims to explore the associations between migrant status, mental health, and suicidal behaviors in young rural Chinese.

This article examines a nascent phenomenon in which a cluster
of digital platforms mimicking popular Chinese apps has
popped up in various cities in the United Kingdom (UK). They
have been eagerly adopted by a strong clientele composed
mainly of Chinese international students and young working
migrants from China. Drawing on data we gathered from the
British city ofManchester, one of the most popular destinations
for Chinese international students, we propose the concept
of home virtuality to illustrate how Chinese student migrants’
frequent surfing of these Chinese-style digital platforms has
created a ‘virtual home’ that is quite reminiscent of the platformized
lifestyle in China, and that thus offers them a sense of
connection to home. We argue that this ‘home virtuality’ does
not only imply a virtual connection but is also a home environment
materialized through the familiar app services of the new
Chinese platform businesses in the UK.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the Korean-Chinese on the development of the Korean tourism industry through acculturation, adaptation and assimilation into Korean culture using the medium of food. For this purpose, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews with Korean-Chinese migrants, Chinese nationals and Korean nationals. From the survey, the idea of a Korean-Chinese food culture street in Jayang-dong in eastern Seoul was born, and the impact of these migrants was perceived not as invisible but as a local reality. On the other hand, from the perspective of Koreans, evaluating Korean-Chinese ethnics is generally through a double standard. This means that their Korean ethnicity is Korean by bloodline, but it is categorized as Chinese by nationality and culture. Nevertheless, Korean ethnicity is a starting point for accepting the Korean-Chinese as members of Korean society using the medium of food.

Objective: A 100 million children in China are affected by internal migration, a result of the growing demand for human labor due to economic growth. Whether moving to urban cities with their parents or being left behind in rural areas, these children are vulnerable to victimization. The meta-analysis presented in this study is the first to synthesize the rates of victimization among children affected by internal migration. Method: Studies providing data published before May 2016 on the prevalence of child victimization among 105,415 Chinese subjects aged 0-17 years were identified through eight English and Chinese databases. Two reviewers independently extracted data to generate summary effect sizes using a random effects meta-analytic model. A priori subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate heterogeneity and bias in these studies. Results: Our meta-analysis of 31 studies showed that children affected by internal migration, both migrant children and left-behind children, are at a higher risk of victimization in comparison to their unaffected counterparts (odds ratio [OR] = 1.492, p < .01), especially in their vulnerability to unintentional injuries (OR = 1.683, p < .01) and neglect (OR = 1.398, p < .01). These children are at a higher risk of being unintentionally injured from the ages of 6 to 11 years (OR = 1.644, p < .01). The highest victimization rate observed in this study was found in the central districts of China (OR = 1.599, p < .01). Conclusion: This study reveals the high prevalence of victimization among both migrant children and left-behind children. The increasing number of children affected by internal migration deserves continuous academic and policy attention.

This article explains who the actors are and how they interact in the two main issues concerning Argentinian-Chinese relations: the soybean trade and Chinese migration to Argentina. Each of the trade policies of the two states guides the soybean business and the Argentinian migration policy seeks to control the flow of Chinese immigration. However, the growing influence of the Chinese state on Argentina through Chinese state-owned companies and Chinese migrants has infiltrated the role played by the Argentinian state in Argentinian-Chinese relations. But the dominant role played by the Argentinian government in the alliance between the Argentinian government and the big export companies in the soybean trade, and the capacity of Argentina state to control the Chinese immigration flow in the face of non-state actors, both legal and clandestine, show that the government is still able to exert a significant restraining influence on these Chinese non-state actors.

China's massive internal migration is no longer simply rural-urban and circular, but increasingly diversified. Hence, we overview current research into the emerging transition in China's internal migration, present a critique of salient existing studies, and outline how a China variant of Zelinsky's mobility transition theory might, with new sophistication and analytical power, account for the distinctive Chinese features of that momentous transition: its spatio-temporal patterns, and its causes and effects. The proposed thesis will show how parallels and distinctive differences that mark China's internal circular migration have evolved over the last decade. We argue that factors adapted to Chinese circumstances should incorporate appropriate perspectives on demographic transition, social space, trans-locality and multi-locality in migration, socio-spatial inequality, and new-style urbanisation. We highlight also the need for more sophisticated methods, and propose the use of 2020 China Census and longitudinal and time-series survey datasets to analyse the scale, processes, causal mechanisms, and outcomes of the transition.

In this paper, we examine the role of cultural factors in attracting international students using data of 102 countries and regions from 2000 to 2015. Our results show that the export of cultural products is conducive to the increase in international students. International students choose to study in developing countries with an official language and religious beliefs that are different from their home country, but tend to choose developed countries with a common language. We also analyze the features of inbound and outbound international students specific to China. Our study indicates that "soft power," such as a unique culture, common values and migration networks, is important for attracting foreign students.
