Dear Colleague,

Since you indicated you are interested in either African or East Asian
migration issues, we would like to inform you that the Migration  
Information
Source has just published a new feature on migration flows between  
China and
Africa and Africa and China:
www.migrationinformation.org/Feature/display.cfm?id=690

The article, debuting ahead of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, brings
together findings about this understudied movement. It includes

*  historical background on movement from China to Africa
*  estimates of the number of Chinese in various African countries
*  estimates of the number of Africans in select Chinese provinces and
cities
*  the most common types of Chinese migrants in Africa and the most  
common
types of Africans in China.

For more information on migration in African countries, see our African
country profiles, available at
www.migrationinformation.org/Resources/#africa, or our Special Issue on
Africa, at www.migrationinformation.org/issue_sep04.cfm

And you can learn more about the Chinese diaspora in the China country
profile, available at
www.migrationinformation.org/Profiles/display.cfm?ID=219, and in the  
recent
Spotlight on Chinese immigrants to the
United States, at www.migrationinformation.org/USfocus/display.cfm?id=685


Kind Regards,
