This book brings together works by specialists from various areas of the social sciences to reflect on the presence of China in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking territories. From the first Chinese coolies that migrated to the former Portuguese colonies more than 100 years ago, to the current investments along the Belt and Road Initiative, we take the pulse of this historic, social, political and economic presence and flows, that continues to renew and reinvent itself in the face of the challenges of contemporaneity.

Sofia Gaspar, PhD (2005), CIES-Iscte, Lisbon University Institute, is Senior Researcher at that university. She has published several papers and monographs on China and Southeast Asia, at journals as International Migration (2020) and Journal of Chinese Overseas (2017).
