The Flight of the Affluent in Contemporary China

In: Asian survey, Band 56, Heft 4, S. 629-650

Abstract

This article investigates why a growing number of wealthy Chinese, the primary beneficiaries of China's economic rise, have opted to exit China, through both capital flight and emigration, over the last decade, instead of using voice, engaging the political process, and leveraging their power and influence to effect policy change.
