15-Mar-2022
Chinese migration to the Middle East is one of the most important aspects of China's presence in the area. Increased migration in recent decades has aided in the development of China-Gulf ties, with the UAE being one of the nations with a significant Chinese population. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Yuting Wang, a professor of sociology at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. She's lived in the UAE for over a decade and has a fantastic book titled Chinese in Dubai, Money, Pride, and Soul Searching, which she released in 2020. She will speak on the influence of Chinese communities in the UAE, and the social relationships between Chinese and locals.
