南太平洋岛国华人社会的发展：历史与现实的认知

摘要

As a result of massive international exportation of Chinese Labors in modern history,the Chinese immigrant societies had established in the South Pacific Islands since the end of the Nineteenth Century. The earliest Chinese immigrants were largely naturalized after the Second World War,while larger groups of Chinese immigrants came since mid-1980s.The Chinese immigrants actively take part in building local so-cieties and promote modernization of the South Pacific countries both historically and contemporarily.Con-sequently they also set up advantages in some economic and political affairs to many other citizens.However the Chinese immigrants,whose contributions were sometimes unfairly charged by certain Western media and local politicians,were also involved in and impeded by local conflicts.Giving the grant China's strategy to promote cooperation with neighbor countries,the Chinese immigrant societies in the South Pacific Islands will be a positive and supportive force to bridge domestic society and local people.%南太平洋岛国的华人移民社会最初形成于19世纪中后期，主要是近代中国劳工输出的结果。“二战”后，华人移民基本实现了本土化；20世纪80年代中后期又出现新的移民潮，形成较大规模的华人移民群体。无论从历史还是从现实来看，华人移民都积极参与并推动了南太平洋岛国各项事业的发展，由此确立起较高的经济与政治影响力。不过，华人移民群体也不可避免地被当地社会内部冲突与矛盾所波及，并受到部分西方媒体及少数政客的借题炒作。本文认为，从我国发展对南太平洋岛国战略关系的角度看，岛国华人社会将扮演日益重要且积极的纽带角色。
