Abstract

Since Economic Reform in 1978, entrepreneurial immigration to Central America has been one of the latest trends in Chinese out-migration. The secret of contemporary Chinese entrepreneurship in Central America is that they strategically develop kinship ties, regional and dialectical networks, creating a trust-based rotating credit schemes to achieve entrepreneurial success and stable business advantages.

       1978年经济改革以来,向中美洲的创业移民是中国国际移民的最新动向之一。当代华人在中美洲的创业秘诀主要在于,他们策略性地运作亲属网络和区域网络,创造了基于信任的轮换信贷计划,以此获得创业成功和稳定经商优势。
