Recent rush of the Chinese immigrants to Canada is causingsome significant changes in Chinese transnational social space inVancouver. That includes institutional changes, metropolitan space,ethnoscapes, and Chinese community itself. So-called ‘overseasChinese‘ is seemingly homogeneous. But there are so manyheterogeneous groups which are classified as their country, dialect,culture, county, and class, which are practicing struggle andnegotiation, distinction and homogenization. Vancouver, earned thenickname “Hongcouver”, shows us the representative example of theChinese transnational social space. This thesis investigates how Chinese immigrants have beenmaking their own transnational social space in articulating withthe states, the metropolitan space, and the other ethnic groups, and in articulating with the other Chinese sub-ethnic groups inVancouver, since the outset of the Neo-liberalization, whichoverlapped with Sino.British Joint Declaration in 1984. It aims tounderstand the historical, the geo-sociological, and the culturalpolitical context of the formation and transition of the Chinesetransnational social space.
