 Chinatowns in Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rome The fastest-growing Roman Chinatown is in the Esquilino neighborhood.
Chinatowns in the UK are not residential, the Chinese in the UK are relatively dispersed, and do not form ethnic enclaves as in many other countries, although the highest number are to be found in large cities and in the South-East.
Other UK Chinatowns are found in the English cities of Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle, the Scottish cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, the Welsh capital Cardiff and a growing population of Chinese immigrants are present in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

 London/Chinatown - Wikitravel
London's Chinatown is centrally located in Westminster, and is centred along and around Gerrard Street, spreading into Wardour Street at one end and Newport Place at the other.
Chinatown is part of London's colourful West End, along with Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and other nearby districts.
London's Chinatown may not be quite as large as San Francisco or Vancouver's Chinatowns, but it is still a fun place to dine out in the evening, and it definitely is different from anywhere else in London.

Back in Europe, systematic interviews with migrants from our Fujian fieldsites and their employers, landlords and "immigration service companies" in Europe’s Chinatowns will be carried out.
Immigration of Fujianese to Europe started even more recently that to North America and Japan, and clearly is a spill-over from emigration to these areas: Europe functioned as a through-station for migrants on their way to the US, some of whom decided to stay here or had no other choice.
During our fieldwork in Europe and China, we shall identify a limited number of cases: projects, such as the establishment of an enterprise, the transportation of a group of migrants by a human trafficker, fund raising for a charitable community project (a hospital, ancestral hall, a school), or the founding of a new association.

 Mobile Chinatowns: the future of community in a global space of flows
Vancouver's Chinatown has over a century of history behind it, and, up until recently, was the cultural, commercial, and community heart of the Chinese-Canadian community of Vancouver.
Certainly in regards to 'new Chinatowns', the most interesting work in recent years has been the work of Wei Li (1998), who argues that the new residential concentrations of Chinese ethnic migrants in suburban areas are not 'new Chinatowns' at all, but a fundamentally different form of ethnic cluster.
Chinatown was a space of ambivalence, the way Bauman (1991) would characterise it: a space which is neither 'in' nor 'out' of the mainstream, and where 'getting out' of the enclave was a symbol of success.

 Literary Chinese Viewed in the Light of Literary Latin
In Europe this was, of course, the Romance vernacular written languages, which in the earliest extant examples in the tenth and eleventh centuries already show a considerable sophistication reflecting a period of prior development.
After the decline of the secular schools in the fifth century, the transmission of ancient culture in Europe was in the hands of the Church with its system of ecclesiastical education, exclusively so in the sixth to eighth centuries, and education was in Latin only.
In China itself the need was confined to the "scholar-officials" of the bureaucracy, the counterparts of the ecclesiastics of Europe, who traveled throughout the country and were often appointed to posts in districts where their native dialect did not suffice for communication.

One relative of a leader of the Tongmenghui, or the Revolutionary Alliance, remembered that as a child she had witnessed Sun hiding in her house and that she, her mother, and her sisters had acted as guards at the door and windows while Sun lived in the house.
Chinatown organizations, particularly the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, the overall organization for all Chinese businesses in the United States, sent cables to congratulate Sun Yat-sen as China's first president.
Sun said that "the evolution of Europe and America was based on three leading principles, namely nationalism, democracy, and socialism or people's livelihood" in the editorial he wrote for the first issue of Min Bao (People's Tribune), Tongmenghui's party paper in Japan.

Acupuncture was introduced in Europe by European physicians who brought it from Far Eastern colonies.
The similarity is that there is close communication and contribution between acupuncturists practicing in Europe and China.

 Susan Mazur-Stommen, Anthropologist
Kamikawa's comparative study of three Chinatowns in the U.S. reveals another instance in which architectural heritage has been recognized as a valuable resource, but in this case the meaning of preservation is a matter of invention and negotiation that involves the views of anticipated visitors to Chinatowns as well as their residents.
In recent years, downtown Chinatowns are striving for neighborhood revitalization in the face of proliferation of suburban ethnic enclaves called “satellite” Chinatowns and tremendous downtown development pressures.
Also, upon close examination, one will discover that most Chinatowns do not exhibit an architectural style unique to Chinatown, nor is there a uniform style that is common among the buildings of Chinatowns across the United States or North America.

 Immigration Through Time
Congress passes the first law restricting immigration with the 1862 law forbidding American vessels to transport Chinese immigrants to the U.S. The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in order to prevent an excess of cheap labor in the U.S. and provided the deportation of those who were adjudged illegal residents.
For example, immigrants from northern and western Europe were consider much more desirable than those of southern and eastern Europe and more adapt to "fit in." Consequently, countries like Great Britain, Germany, and Ireland were given generous quotas, while nations like Russia, the source of most Jewish immigrants, and Italy were cut back.
Such events as the Chinatowns turning from crime and drug ridden places to quiet, colorful tourist attractions, well-behaved and school conscientious Chinese children being welcomed by public school teachers, and China becoming allies with the U.S. during World War II, all paved the way for the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
