二十世纪五六十年代缅甸华侨双重国籍问题再探

Rediscussion on the Dual Nationality of Overseas Chinese in Burma in 1950s and 1960s

20世纪50年代至60年代初,在缅华侨不管是主动或被动,大多有人籍缅甸的意愿。缅甸政府虽然表示愿意解决华侨的双重国籍问题,但对华侨的疑虑始终存在。因此,缅甸政府对华侨双重国籍问题的态度是矛盾的。一方面,缅甸政府采取若干措施迫使华侨加入缅籍;但另一方面,缅甸政府又担心华侨大量入籍对其社会造成冲击,甚至担心中国利用华侨干涉其内政。而新中国自1954年以后的政策一直是以鼓励华侨加入缅籍为主,但由于缅甸迟迟不愿谈判,直至1962年缅甸政权更迭,两国一直没有就华侨双重国籍问题正式进行谈判。因此,缅甸华侨的双重国籍问题至多是中方默认缅方根据其国内法解决的。

From 1950s to the beginning of 1960s, whether positive or passive, most of the overseas Chinese in Burma had the willing to be naturalized in Burma. While the Burma government expressed their willingness to solve the problem of the dual nationality of the overseas Chinese, but the doubts to the overseas chinese always ex- isted. Therefore, the Burma government was ambivalent about the dual nationality of the overseas Chinese. On one hand, the Burma government took some measures to force overseas Chinese to join Burma, but on the other hand, the Burma government was worried about the impact on its rule caused by the naturalization of a large num- ber of overseas Chinese, and even worried that China made use of overseas Chinese to interfere its internal affairs. After 1954, new Chinese policy encouraged the overseas Chinese to join the Burmese natinality, but because of Burmese government being reluctant to negotiations, until the regime change in Burma in 1962, the two countries never had the formal negotiations on the dual nationality of overseas Chinese, much less solving the problem in bilateral treaty form like China and Indonesia. Therefore, the dual nationality problem of the overseas Chinese in Burma wasn＇ t successfully solved, and at most China tactitly admited that Burma solved it according to its domestic law.
