Abstract

In the second half of the 19th century due to many reasons including socioeconomic chaos in China, the circumstance in the United States and Australia, and the great progress of maritime transportation, Chinese emigration increased rapidly. Among many countries at that time, the immigration pattern of the Chinese to the United States and to Australia shared many similarities such as: during their immigration, the Chinese had to encounter resistance from both governments and citizens. Despite this discrimination they contributed to the economic development of the two countries. In contrast they adversely influenced the socioeconomic circumstance of the two countries because of their trading and using opium.
