从“英国货车惨案”看当代中国跨境移民的“污名化”

Essex Lorry Deaths and Stigmatization of Cross-border Migration in Contemporary China

“污名化”是一个社会对移民群体赋予的负面刻板称谓。2019年“英国货车惨案”事件下西方媒体的报道,反映了国际社会对当代中国跨境移民的“污名化”,其根源在于西方民粹主义思潮和“中国威胁”论调的泛起,也与移民自身因素有关。因此,中国跨境移民、祖(籍)国和居住国之间,不仅应从历史和现实中寻找树立华侨华人正面形象的依据,同时在移民政策、舆论宣传和国际合作机制建设上加以完善,以进一步消解中国跨境移民在海外的负面形象,推动和谐族群关系和健康社会环境的发展。

Immigrant are always putting stigma appellation by the inhabitants in the course of acculturation.Western countries media under the "Essex Lorry Deaths"in 2019 reflected the international community’s cognitive attitude on Chinese cross-border immigration.The reasons include the causes of the rise of right-wing populism in Europe and the "China threat" theory,as well as the factors of immigrants themselves.It is important for overseas Chinese themselves,their host societies and home countries to find the basis for building a positive image of overseas Chinese from history and reality.All stakeholders should also improve the construction of immigration policies,publicity and international cooperation mechanisms,in order to eliminate the negative image of overseas Chinese and to achieve harmonious race relations and social well-being.
