Being Chinese in Australia 2022 release

More than 1.2 million people of Chinese heritage live in Australia today. Their experiences are as diverse as their views; many were born in Australia, with lineages that span generations of Australian history. Others have migrated more recently from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Chinese-Australian communities have flourished and contributed to many aspects of Australian life.

The Lowy Institute’s Multiculturalism, Identity and Influence Project conducted its second nationally representative poll of Chinese-Australians at the end of 2021. Respondents were asked about their perspectives on life in Australia, and views on a wide range of issues — from foreign influence and relationships with China, to systems of government and pride in Australian life and culture. There is both continuity and divergence when these sentiments are compared to the broader Australian population, and the views of those of other diaspora communities.

如今，澳大利亚境内的华裔人口已超120万。他们的人生经历与所持观点同样丰富多元：不少人出生于澳大利亚，家族谱系贯穿数代澳大利亚历史；另有部分群体为近年从中国内地、中国香港、中国台湾及东南亚地区移民而来。澳大利亚华裔（Chinese-Australian）社群蓬勃发展，为澳大利亚社会诸多领域贡献了力量。
洛伊研究所（Lowy Institute）发起的「多元文化、身份认同与影响力项目」（Multiculturalism, Identity and Influence Project）于2021年末开展了第二次针对澳大利亚华裔的全国代表性民意调查。本次调查询问了受访者对澳大利亚生活的看法，以及对一系列议题的观点——从外国影响力、对华关系，到政府体制，乃至对澳大利亚生活与文化的自豪感。将这些态度与更广泛的澳大利亚民众及其他侨民社群的观点进行对比，可以发现既有延续性，也存在分歧。
