CONFERENCE THEME: Migration, Indigenization and Exchange: Chinese Overseas from Global Perspective Recent globalization which began at the end of the last century has had a tremendous impact on Chinese overseas; the conventional notions on Chinese migration, indigenization and exchange between ethnic Chinese and their host or adopted countries as well as between ethnic Chinese and China require re-examination.The major objectives of the 7th International conference of ISSCO are to re-look from regional as well as global perspectives at these issues, in particular the challenges faced by Chinese overseas in the political, economic, linguistic, cultural, educational and religious areas. These challenges may also be compared with the historical experiences of the Chinese overseas for a better understanding of their present situation, and possibly a prognosis of the future.
