Abstract
Chinese migration is one of the most intense international flows across the globe: in 2008, it reached a peak of 539,000 arrivals in OECD countries, with an increase in the percentage of total flows to this area from 4.9 in 1995 to 9.8 in 2008 (OECD, 2010). In Italy, the Chinese represent the third-largest non-EU migrant community in Italy after Morocco and Albania, with more than 300,000 individuals (Demo Istat, 20111).
