초록
China’s central and local governments have striven to maintain transnational ties with the Chinese overseas to serve China’s priorities in the reform era. This paper probes into how Fujian’s local government and Singapore’s voluntary associations seek to capitalize on Chinese cultural events to further their agendas and calls into question the common perception of China’s relations with the Chinese overseas. I argue that cultural activities are not only adopted by Chinese authorities as a means to cultivate the Chinese overseas and achieve national reunification with Taiwan, but also allow these associations to address their own survival and revival challenges. Accordingly, the roles played by Chinese Singaporeans in the process of cultural interaction with China are not purely motivated by cultural affinity, but are inextricably linked to a multifaceted list of factors against the background of waxing and waning Sino-Singapore relations, such as benefit calculation and the accumulation of social and symbolic capital.
Abstract
China’s central and local governments have striven to maintain transnational ties with the Chinese overseas to serve China’s priorities in the reform era. This paper probes into how Fujian’s local government and Singapore’s voluntary associations seek to capitalize on Chinese cultural events to further their agendas and calls into question the common perception of China’s relations with the Chinese overseas. I argue that cultural activities are not only adopted by Chinese authorities as a means to cultivate the Chinese overseas and achieve national reunification with Taiwan, but also allow these associations to address their own survival and revival challenges. Accordingly, the roles played by Chinese Singaporeans in the process of cultural interaction with China are not purely motivated by cultural affinity, but are inextricably linked to a multifaceted list of factors against the background of waxing and waning Sino-Singapore relations, such as benefit calculation and the accumulation of social and symbolic capital.
