Catalan weekly magazine
Presència has devoted the main report of its last edition to the
Chinese community living in
Catalonia. The title of the report is "
Chinese Catalans, portrait of an emerging and entrepreneurial minority" and it explains what is the situation of the growing
Chinese population in
Catalonia.
Chinese immigrants are the fifth most numerous minority (around 50,000 inhabitants), after the Moroccans, Romanians, Ecuadorians and Bolivians, and they mostly live in the
Barcelona metropolitan area. Out of those 50,000 inhabitants, some
8,000 are entrepreneurs, the highest percentage among any other group, including the natives. The report also includes interviews with
Jia Jia Wang, owner of
Jia Jia Ediciones, a publishing company she created in order to help teach
Chinese language to local children. Other interviews are those of
Zheng Lingteng and
Ma Yinping, teachers of Chinese at the
Girona-based language school,
Nipponia, and
Lam Chuen Ping, president of the
Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs of Catalonia. The
scans of the report can be seen on the
Sinalunya Flickr site.
