| 520 | |a This chapter focuses on one Russian province, the Irkutsk Oblast, which due to its location has become a trans-shipment point for legal and illegal migration of the Chinese, as well as a place of their settling, permanent residence and business activities. It asks how new social networks, namely WeChat, help to attract Chinese workers.
