缅甸佤邦特区的华人新移民

Chinese Newcomers in Myanmar's Wa Special Region

缅甸佤邦特区是掸邦高原东北部一处相对封闭的地理单元,与中国云南省临沧、普洱两市接壤,是缅北主要华人聚居区之一。1989年后佤邦特区进入和平建设的新时期,越来越多华人新移民进入当地,他们有的投资开矿,有的经营各类公司,有的受雇为技术工人等,在云南、福建、广东三省之外,很多人也来自四川、湖南、江西、安徽等中国内陆省份,他们大多无意在当地永久居留,并且对这一地区以外的"缅甸"兴趣不大,当地政府民众对他们总体上持欢迎态度。

Neighboring with Chinese cities as Lincang, Pu＇ er of Ynnnan Province, Myanmar＇ s Wa Special Region is a relatively closed geographical unit of northeast Shan Plateau, where are many overseas Chinese. From 1989, Wa Special Region has entered a new stage featured by peace and construction, more and more Chinese newcomers moved into this region. Some of them invested in mines, some managed companies, some were em- ployed as technical workers and so on. Besides Yunnan, Fujian and Guangdong, a large part of them came from China＇ s inland provinces such as Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi or Anhui. Most of these newcomers are not prepared to permanent resident in this region, and are not interested in other parts of Myanmar. The local government and people have an overall favorable opinion of these Chinese newcomers.
