Abstract: With the influx of international migrants, China has been transformed from a traditional sending country of outbound migrants into an emerging destination in the landscape of international migration in the past forty years. Why do migrating individuals decide to come and live in China? How do they interpret their intercultural experiences in Chinese society? How should researchers theorize intercultural adaptation in the Chinese context? The inquiries mentioned above will be addressed in this lecture. Moreover, an interdisciplinary perspective of conducting intercultural communication research in the non-Western context will be illustrated and discussed based on the speaker’s research experiences.
