中美洲六国的中国新老移民探析

Analyzing Chinese New and Old Immigrants in Six Central American Countries

传统华人时代中美洲的华侨华人基本上来自广东,其中则以广府人为主,客家人为次。20世纪50年代后,在中美洲国家长期没有与中国建交的情况下,除了有一部分移民来自中国台湾地区外,内地很少有人从家乡移居这些国家,各国华社主要是靠内部的自然繁衍延续自己的根脉,因此华裔的比例较高。20世纪80年代后,中美洲地区来自中国内地的新移民人数不多,基本上是广东人,台湾地区的移民相对较多。中美洲国家的自然条件对中国移民相对不利,不少国家历史上出现不同程度的政局动乱,长期经济不振,社会治安不靖,对喜欢经商致富的中国移民产生不同程度的影响。

During the traditional era of Chinese immigration to Central America,overseas Chinese mainly originated from Guangdong,with a predominant representation of Cantonese and a lesser presence of Hakka people.After the 1950s,when several Central American countries did not have diplomatic relations with China for an extended period,apart from immigrants from Taiwan region,China,few individuals migrated from China's mainland to these nations.The local Chinese communities mainly relied on internal natural growth to sustain their roots,leading to a relatively high proportion of ethnic Chinese.Since the 1980s,there have been few new immigrants from China's Mainland to Central America,primarily from Guangdong,while immigrants from Taiwan region have been relatively more numerous.The natural conditions in Central American countries have been relatively unfavorable for Chinese im migrants,with many nations experiencing historical political unrest,prolonged economic downturns,and social instability,which have impacted Chinese immigrants who aspire to engage in business and prosperity to varying degrees.
