Melissa's Writing
Chinese transnationalism refers to the conglomeration of business and diasporic culture. According to Melissa, cultural identity is usually facilitated by immigration and mobility from one region to another. For example, the exhibition about the oil machine in 2014 was launched to illustrate the community's power of collectiveness. The same ideology has been presented in different regions, reflecting cultural differences, especially with the Chinese community. In this case study, immigration and asylum have different meanings, and some hosts that portray their relationship include Han Jin. Hospitality is defined differently; therefore, some fictional movies portray emotions, especially from the diasporic community. In these writings, Chinese culture is welcomed differently in America, Africa, and Canada.
Additionally, areas dominated by the Chinese should be considered as Chinese transnational. Furthermore, some writings indicate how culture is negotiated, especially with Chinese immigrants, which unveils the immigration paradox in these scenarios. The hospitality code seeks that immigrants be accorded equal rights as the residents. Moreover, immigrants should be termed as enemies in the countries they move to, and also, there should not be conditions in respect to hospitality (Bhabha, 2006). The "add oil machine" program was established to stand with Chinese communities, improve urbanism and enhance hospitality in the diaspora. The program also entails respect for learning institutions and zero harassment to students both locally and globally. The "free life" letter illustrates the importance of diplomacy, especially when handling issues affecting the community and diaspora citizens.
