Two dimensions of the Chinese-language Cyberspace are identified \u2013 homeland media and ethnic media. While ethnic media has been researched extensively, online homeland media is largely overlooked in academic research. Using Chinese migrants in New Zealand as a case study and combining the analyses of empirical data derived from interviews and online texts, this research argues that online homeland media is a potent factor in the construction of migrant identity and deserves more academic attention. It reinforces a sense of being \u2018authentic Chinese\u2019 among migrant netizens. Simultaneously yet in contrast, online ethnic media helps to reconstruct \u2018being Chinese\u2019 \u2013 as migrants and as an ethnic minority in the host country. The deterritorialised Chinese-language Cyberspace provides a virtual space where migrant identity is constantly negotiated between various factors of acquired Kiwiness and inherited and reconstructed Chineseness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444813505363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,24]],"date-time":"2013-09-24T23:57:34Z","timestamp":1380067054000},"page":"556-572","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Chinese-language Cyberspace, homeland media and ethnic media: A contested space for being Chinese"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hang","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Auckland, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism","author":"Anderson B","year":"1983"},{"key":"bibr2-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Modernity at Large: Cultural Dimensions of Globalization","author":"Appadurai A","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr3-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/ae.2005.32.4.660"},{"key":"bibr4-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Banal Nationalism","author":"Billig M","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr5-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-5661.2005.00148.x"},{"key":"bibr6-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/016344300022005005"},{"key":"bibr7-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0016549201063004003"},{"key":"bibr8-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Towards a Transnational Perspective on Migration: Race, Class, Ethnicity, and Nationalism reconsidered","author":"Glick Schiller N","year":"1992"},{"key":"bibr9-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/146144804044327"},{"key":"bibr10-1461444813505363","first-page":"161","volume-title":"Immigration and National Identity in New Zealand: One People, Two Peoples, Many Peoples?","author":"Ip M","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr11-1461444813505363","first-page":"178","volume-title":"Media and the Chinese Diaspora: Community, Communications, and Commerce","author":"Ip M","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr12-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/011719680101000201"},{"key":"bibr13-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/152263799900100302"},{"key":"bibr14-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/S15327825MCS0323_04"},{"key":"bibr15-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203205808"},{"key":"bibr16-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01419870120049789"},{"key":"bibr17-1461444813505363","first-page":"177","volume-title":"Integrating Immigrants in Liberal Nation-States: From Post-Nationals to Transnational","author":"Levitt P","year":"2003"},{"key":"bibr18-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Transformations in New Zealand\u2019s International Migration System: 1981\u20131996","author":"Lidgard JM","year":"1998"},{"key":"bibr19-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1464884906065518"},{"key":"bibr20-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0016549200062006003"},{"key":"bibr21-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203422977"},{"key":"bibr22-1461444813505363","first-page":"167","volume-title":"The Anthropology of Globalization: A Reader","author":"Ong A","year":"2008","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr23-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0374.2004.00087.x"},{"key":"bibr24-1461444813505363","first-page":"74","volume":"25","author":"Portes A","year":"1996","journal-title":"The American Prospect"},{"key":"bibr25-1461444813505363","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0163443709335219"},{"key":"bibr26-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Floating Lives: The Media and Asian Diasporas","author":"Sinclair JG","year":"2000"},{"key":"bibr27-1461444813505363","volume-title":"National Identity","author":"Smith AD","year":"1991"},{"key":"bibr28-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Leaving China: Media, Migration, and Transnational Imagination","author":"Sun W","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr29-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Media and the Chinese Diaspora: Community, Communications, and Commerce","author":"Sun W","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr30-1461444813505363","volume-title":"Globalization and Culture","author":"Tomlinson J","year":"1999"},{"key":"bibr31-1461444813505363","unstructured":"Vertovec S (2002) Transnational Networks and Skilled Labour Migration.
