Summary
This chapter provides in-depth legal and policy analyses of China’s response to five mass influxes of refugees, namely the Vietnamese refugee crisis in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the continuous inflow of North Korean escapees since the mid-1990s, the influxes of displaced ethnic Kokangs from Myanmar in August 2009 and in 2015 and the influxes of ethnic Kachins from Myanmar since 2011. This chapter also discusses the treatment of UNHCR refugees in China.
