Investigation on Chinese immigrants in the Netherlands

Model ethnic minorities

According to Geledraak.nl, not long ago, the University of Amsterdam commissioned a Chinese-American scientist, ShaoYueng, to investigate the social conditions of Dutch immigrants from China, including integration, prejudice and discrimination. The final conclusion is that "the immigrant group in China is a model minority, hardworking and unknown". This assertion confirms that the immigrant groups in China can be recognized and accepted by Dutch society.

The second generation of Chinese Americans reversed their image.

China is the earliest immigrant group in the Netherlands, but most of the early China people were engaged in catering services or laborers at the bottom. In the eyes of the Dutch, China people are very hardworking and love learning. At present, the education level of the second generation or even the third generation of China people is generally high. They have been integrated into all walks of life, engaged in all kinds of respected work, and even appeared many successful entrepreneurs.

When talking about entrepreneurs in China, Ms. Baljeu, deputy mayor of Rotterdam, described the entrepreneurial image of China immigrants as follows: "Many third-generation Chinese are actively trying to start businesses, and they are active in IT, media and other industries. I think if you ask Dutch residents, especially young people in the Netherlands, what is their impression of immigrants from China, maybe you will get the answer from restaurants 20 years ago, but now they will say that China people are a group of entrepreneurs. "

Language is an obstacle.

Although most Dutch people can speak English, they think that their mother tongue has a unique weight in the minds of every nation. The survey shows that, like most immigrant countries such as the United States, in recent years, Dutch people have begun to hold negative views on immigrants who can't speak Dutch. Even the second generation of Chinese living in the Netherlands, although born and raised in the Netherlands, can use English when they meet the local people for the first time. Dutch people automatically think that none of the students in China can speak Dutch. It can be seen that the language problem of Chinese in the Netherlands has become a common phenomenon, which will hinder the smooth integration of immigrants to a certain extent.
