The Chinese’ Migrating and Spiritual Potential

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present article is to indicate a shift of the people’s migration paradigm. On the example of the so-called “traditional migrations” of the Chinese to Western Europe (France, England, Germany and the Netherlands), a new characteristics of Chinese migration flows could have been observed in recent years. Although the objectives of migration (mainly economic) essentially remain the same, the impact of modern forms of communication on its dynamics is of great importance here. The result of this is the fact that with the nominally smaller Chinese emigration to Europe, we have the opportunity to acquaint with the Chinese better than at the beginning of the twentieth century. The article reminds the reader that the immigrants from the Middle Kingdom come from diverse ethnic groups, cultures and environments (diasporas). In contrast, it is worth noting the fact that their common denominator is the cherished local tradition and beliefs that are philosophical and religious in nature (Confucianism and Taoism), in spite of systematic political indoctrination.
