Introduction. In 1858, Chinese migrated to the goldfields of New South Wales goldfields (later federated as one of the Australian states).

After the 1960s, Australian law began removing restrictions against Chinese immigration. In recent years, the Overseas Chinese presence in Australia has become somewhat more noticeable. Apparently in response, some Australian politicians continue to use racist "yellow horde" rhetoric.

New Zealand experienced immigration from South China in the nineteenth century stemming from difficult conditions and prospects in south China. Migration may seem less surprising if one considers that future Chinese migrants were exposed to Western influences in Canton and had access to ships.

The "second wave" of Chinese immigrants to New Zealand in the 1980s and 1990s came from Hong Kong, but also many of them came from Taiwan and Mainland China. Meanwhile, by 2005, reportedly Winston Peters was the only New Zealand politician who saw advantage in playing the anti-Chinese race card.

SP-1. Hao SHI Deming SHU Web Managers & Maintainers Chinese Professionals Club of Australia (CPCA) Victoria Australia URL: www.cpca.org.au/default.asp	STUDENTS' PERSPECTIVES on the Chinese Professionals Club of Australia: "This website shows that it is very important to the Chinese living in Australia that they are involved in many social and community activities. They seem to really enjoy dancing: Many of the scheduled activities in which they take part involve dancing. It is also very important to them that they are closely tied with China. Information on traveling to and from China is also posted on this site. Values reflected by this website are saving money, working together collectively to save money and being a successful professional.....Since the website is geared towards highly educated Chinese professionals living in Australia, it is hard to make a generalization for all Chinese living in Australia" — Laura L.
