許多分析已經對中國的國際努力和外交政策，但是，人們有價值的研究課題還有待檢驗：海外中國人的觀點來看，對中國的崛起。這項研究旨在揭示中國日益增長的國際參與和海外中國人在台灣，新加坡，馬來西亞，香港，澳門和印尼的觀點見解。所有這些國家都有一個顯著中國社區。這是假設，更強族系中國大陸將導致對中國的崛起有利的態度。

analyses have been conducted on the PRC’s international endeavors and foreign policy, yet, one valuable research topic has yet to be examined: the viewpoints of overseas Chinese toward the PRC’s rise. This study seeks to shed insight on the PRC’s growing international engagement and the viewpoints of overseas Chinese in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau and Indonesia. All these countries have a significant Chinese community. It is hypothesized that stronger kinsmanship to mainland China will lead to favorable attitudes toward the rise of the PRC.
