China schätzt die weltweite Zahl der chinastämmigen Menschen außer­halb der Volksrepublik auf 60 Millionen Personen. Peking betrachtet sie, unabhängig von ihrer Staatsbürgerschaft, allesamt als Angehörige Chinas. Auslandschinesen spielen aus Sicht Xi Jinpings eine "unersetzliche Rolle" für Chinas Aufstieg zur Weltmacht. Peking bemüht sich intensiv darum, auslandschinesische Ressourcen für eigene Zielsetzungen in den Be­reichen Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Technik sowie Diplomatie und Soft Power nutzbar zu machen. Auch von Menschen chinesischer Herkunft in Deutschland fordert Peking, die Beziehungen zwischen China und Deutschland zu vertiefen. Aber nicht nur das: Sie sollen als "inoffizielle Botschafter" auch Chinas Narra­tive in der deutschen Öffentlichkeit verbreiten, Chinas "Kerninteressen" verteidigen und beim Wissens- und Technologietransfer nach China helfen. Chinas Diasporapolitik sind gleichwohl Grenzen gesetzt: Die Reaktionen chinesischer Migranten auf Chinas Ambitionen fallen heterogen aus. Sie reichen von der Bereitschaft zur Kooperation bis hin zu Desinteresse oder offener Ablehnung. Deutsche Akteure sollten ein umfassendes Verständnis der chinesischen Diasporapolitik und der damit verknüpften Ziele und Praktiken ent­wickeln. So wie in Peking auch sollte die Diasporapolitik als wichtiger Bestandteil der chinesischen Außenpolitik wahrgenommen werden. Erst auf dieser Basis können dort, wo deutsche Interessen, Rechtsprinzipien oder gesellschaftliche Werte berührt sind, Antworten auf Chinas Ambitionen gefunden werden - ohne damit zugleich Menschen chinesischer Herkunft einem Generalverdacht auszusetzen. Auch sollten deutsche Akteure ihr Engagement in Communities von Menschen mit chinesischem Migrationshintergrund ausbauen, anstatt dieses Feld chinesischen Behörden zu überlassen. (Autorenreferat)

"African-Asian interactions contribute to the emergence of a decentred, multi-polar world in which different actors need to redefine themselves and their relations to each other. Afrasian Transformations explores these changes to map out several arenas where these transformations have already produced startling results: development politics, South-South cooperation, cultural memory, mobile lifeworlds and transcultural connectivity. The contributions in this volume neither celebrate these shifting dynamics as felicitous proof of a new age of South-South solidarity, nor do they debunk them as yet another instance of burgeoning geopolitical hegemony. Instead, they seek to come to terms with the ambivalences, contradictions and potential benefits entailed in these transformations -- that are also altering our understanding of (trans)area in an increasingly globalized world.
