In a time of relative Internet infancy their response to the shifting stances of the Australian government saw them build networks, make use of media and develop a range of strategies. In achieving success this diverse group of students became the largest intake of onshore asylum seekers in the history of Australian immigration. Through their testimonies Jia Gao provides a fascinating addition to our knowledge of Chinese activism and to the history of Chinese migration.Social sciences in Asia ;v. 37.Chinese studentsAustraliaChinaHistoryTiananmen Square Incident, 1989InfluenceChinese students261Gao Jia900730MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790659703321Chinese activism of a different kind3793921UNINA
