Resumen

Inmigrantes profesionales hispanoamericanos sin vínculos culturales o ascendencia china han elegido este país como destino migratorio, una temática aún no estudiada. El objetivo es comprender sus motivaciones, y para ello 19 hombres y 6 mujeres participaron en entrevistas en profundidad y encuestas. Se observa que, especialmente en la generación Y, la elección del destino va más allá de factores económicos, influenciada por el poder blando chino a través de medios y educación. Estos medios sirven como puentes interculturales; a nivel meso-social, previos a la migración, conectando aspectos macroestructurales con decisiones individuales. Además, se evidencia que el influjo de estos medios es menos relevante en la generación anterior, subrayando la importancia del cambio generacional. Sostenemos que el consumo personalizado de productos culturales individualiza las motivaciones y respalda las decisiones.
