[BOOK TALK]  How Global China Governs its Diaspora

This event is hosted by the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy.

Online and in person

Nearly twelve million Chinese citizens live outside China, spread out across every continent. How does Global China govern this vast and diverse diaspora? 

Co-authors Emile Dirks and Diana Fu explore this question in their new book, How Global China Governs its Diaspora: Consent & Coercion. On November 20, join them for a book talk and panel discussion about the domestic origins of China’s diaspora statecraft and the ways China’s approach to governing the diaspora differs from other regimes like Russia, India, and Turkey. 

Emile Dirks is a senior research associate at the Citizen Lab. Diana Fu is an associate professor of Chinese politics in the Department of Government at Cornell University.
