Twenty years ago, commercial tourism in the People's Republic of China hardly existed. This book offers an exploration of why Chinese tourists pursue certain kinds of experiences, what they make of them, and how their experiences and interpretations are shaped by the state.

Chinese citizens are becoming increasingly mobile, both inside China and abroad. China is caught between perceived benefits and dangers posed by mobility, complicated by the government's own conflicting impulses to support and discourage it. This book demonstrates this balance through an in-depth look at patterns of migration and state response.

Provides an overview of the Chinese in Russia and Eastern Europe. This book is intended for students and scholars of Chinese studies, international migration, diaspora and transnationalism.

China has a tourist industry, characterized by a style with deep roots in traditional Chinese culture. This title argues that China's brand of tourism is distinct from the traditions of both Western bourgeois tourism, which values authenticity, and Soviet tourism, with its emphasis on rugged and selfless experience.
