摘要
1988年后,中缅之间的边境贸易日趋繁荣。通过对中缅边境地区缅甸华人商业往来与族群互动的人类学考察,本文聚焦于缅甸华人:一是如何运用自身的族群网络经营跨境贸易;二是如何利用缅甸华人的身份从中国地方政府招商引资的优惠政策中获益;三是如何通过"侨居"中国,摆脱缅甸军政府与民族国家之控制;四是并在往来之间,建构适宜的生存策略与身份认同。本文试图强调,对于缅甸华人跨境贸易的研究不仅构成了一枚观察物品、资本、人员之跨国流动的棱镜;而且也提供了一条在更为广泛的跨国语境中理解另类华人特性、灵活公民身份乃至日常生活中的中缅关系的极佳路径。
The cross-border business between China and Myanmar has been flourishing since the Burmese government launched its economic reform in 1988. Based on the study of business activities and ethnic interaction of Burmese Chinese in China-Myanmar border area, this article explores how Burmese Chinese 1） conduct cross-border trades through their ethnic networks; 2） use their Burmese identity to gain profit from the the Chinese local government＇s policy of investment incentives; and 3） escape the control of the Burmese military regime by sojourning in China; 4） construct suitable strategy of livelihood and ethnic identity. This article shows that the research of cross-border activities of Burmese Chinese is not only a lens to see the transnational mobility of goods, capitals and people, but also it is a way to understand the construction of other Chineseness, flexible citizenship and China-Myanmar relations in a large transnational context.
