This book addresses the rise of China and its impact on Southeast Asias economies and businesses, especially on those of ethnic Chinese. It also discusses Southeast Asian government policies, particularly their economic and business policies, towards local Chinese, and Southeast Asian Chinese businesses, both conglomerates and SMEs, in an era of globalization. Leading experts from the Southeast Asian region present the most up-to-date analyses on the subject. "The contributors have made a compelling case that the rise of China means serious business for ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia. But this growing connection with Mainland China has much more to do with the business acumen and experience of these Southeast Asian Chinese than their alleged cultural affinity with China. Indeed, several chapters have offered concrete evidence to confirm that ethnic affinity does not work in favour of Southeast Asian Chinese investing in China... Collectively, these historical and empirical chapters provided an up-to-date understanding of a highly complex and, yet, politically contentious phenomenon in Southeast Asia: the continued dominance of ethnic Chinese in business and commerce" (Pacific Affairs).
