Chinese Diaspora Experiences
8 Nov 2021 (Mon) | 6:30pm-8:00pm

The Chinese diaspora has spread around the world and has embedded itself in virtually all societies on earth, connected through business, culture and history. What do Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Australian, Canadian or American Chinese have in common and what makes them different? How do their new homes shape their sense of belonging? Together with our guests, we will enrich our own understanding of what it can mean to be Chinese.
