“…Figure 1 below lists some prominent views in the literature and media reports (in English and Chinese) about old‐new Chinese overseas (see for example Dai, 2010, p. 41; Smith, 2013; Wang & Ji, 2018; Matbob, 2021).

Chinese diplomacy has been proactive under Xi Jinping and overseas Chinese are an important target. A better understanding of how overseas Chinese perceive Chinese diplomacy can increase our knowledge, but it is under‐studied in the literature. To fill part of this gap, this research focuses on the Pacific region where Chinaʼs activities have triggered growing geostrategic competition between traditional powers and China. Based on a survey of 182 ordinary overseas Chinese in Fiji and Tonga, this paper examines Chinese diasporaʼs perceptions of three aspects that are related to Chinaʼs diplomacy, including the Belt and Road Initiative, China‐Pacific bilateral relations, and old‐new Chinese issues. The survey reveals nuances in ordinary overseas Chinese views about Chinaʼs diplomacy, especially the concerns and apathy among some of them. It suggests that ordinary overseas Chinese support for Chinaʼs diplomacy is unlikely to grow substantially unless their views about this diplomacy become more positive.

Collections of essays derived from a conference or workshop often reflect the disparate interests of the contributors and organisers while introductions to such collections typically provide a degree of coherence and justification by outlining an encompassing foundational origin story. This collection emerged from a workshop held at James Cook University (JCU) in Cairns in early November 2020 that was funded with the explicit aim of enhancing research capacities within the social sciences and humanities at JCU. This partially explains the number of JCU contributors to the collection.
