'Chinese in Eastern Europe and Russia is an important contribution in filling the lacuna of research in the field. It offers a richly textured and informative account which will be of interest to laymen and specialists alike. It is hoped that the richness of the material in the monograph will be an inspiration to othes to conduct more in-depth research on the topic' - James K. Chin, The University of Hong Kong, Journal of Chinese Overseas, May 2008
