In this presentation, Zai Liang reports findings from a recent project on international migration in China using multiple sources (Chinese Population Censuses, Surveys, and Fieldwork). He reviews the larger contexts of China that are conducive for international migration, which include rising economy prosperity, “One Belt and One Road Initiative," and China’s attempt to become a leader for international higher education. Liang summarizes three of recent studies by my research team: one focusing on religion and international migration, another on a new global neighborhood in China, and the third one on broad temporal and spatial patterns of international migrants in China.
