From the late 19th century to the present, Chinese Australian businesses and merchants have played an important but under-acknowledged role in bilateral trade and investment. This project aims to provide the first systematic study of how Chinese Australian enterprises and diasporic networks were developed from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Historical insights will be enhanced through extensive use of bilingual archival sources. The proposition to be explored is that Chinese business culture in diaspora was not simply oriented to economic survival and money-making, it was also an important element of building a trans-local community with diasporic aspects in everyday life.

从世纪末至今，澳大利亚华人企业和商人在双边贸易和投资中发挥了重要但未被充分认识的作用。该项目旨在首次系统研究19世纪末至20世纪初澳大利亚华人企业和侨民网络的发展。通过广泛使用双语档案资料，将增进对历史的了解。我们要探讨的命题是，华人散居地的商业文化不仅仅是以经济生存和赚钱为目的，它还是构建一个具有散居生活特征的跨地方社区的重要因素。
