    Abstract

    This chapter reviews and interprets the main points of contact between the ethnic and transnational economy of Chinese entrepreneurs in Hungary and the Hungarian economy, with particular attention to the development of migrants' trade, employment, and mobility strategies. It is based on participant observation from 1992 until 2001 and additional fieldwork and interviews in 2003, supplemented with an analysis of Chinese-language media reports on the Chinese economy in Hungary published in 2002-03.
