Chinese technical migrants in Germany

My paper focuses on Chinese technical migrants who have come to work for Chinese enterprises in Germany. It examines how these technical migrants are produced as labour, how they are embedded in the global economic system, and why they are forced to remain in a state of constant precarity, always on the verge of exit. The paper aims to explore how both the host and home states, under the tides of globalization, directly or indirectly compel their citizens to autonomously choose to become actors who drift along in an unstable current and further reveals how, within the hierarchy of global economic inequalities, nations positioned outside the ranks of fully developed economies, such as emerging economies like China, shape the economic processes that compel their citizens, who become entangled within these systems.
