Do Chinese have a high status in Finland?

Finland is located in the corner of northern Europe and is famous for its vast forests and numerous lakes. It borders Russia in the east, Finland and Estonia in the south, the Baltic Sea in the west and Sweden in the north. Among the countries in the world, there are very few people in China.

First, the reason why Chinese is scarce: Finland is remote and has a cold climate.

Second, the development stage of China society:

1 and before 1970s-1953, Ms. Chen Anping settled in Finland, 1955, Miao Cheng worked as a chef in Torny Hotel, 1962, Zheng Yuyan worked in a food company, and Mao Haozhi also came to do business; 1965 After Miao Cheng left, Luo Tongren took over.

2. From the early 1970s to the middle 1970s-Liang, Gao Dejian and Qin Jingming came out one after another. Before 1975, there were only 12 overseas Chinese because Mao Haozhi and Luo Tongren had left Finland.

3. From1mid-1970s to1mid-1980s, in addition to some people from Hongkong, Chinese mainland and Malaysia, 30 to 40 Vietnamese China people came here as refugees. The population of overseas Chinese is about 300 to 400, and the number of domestic hotels has increased from two to seven or eight.

From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s-before1985, foreigners were forbidden to buy industries. To do business, foreigners must join hands with Finns and only hold 40% of the shares. If you borrow money from a bank, you must have the same amount. Since 1986, Finland has officially opened to the outside world, and Chinese restaurants have mushroomed, increasing to 70 or 80 in just 10. At the same time, dozens of overseas Chinese from Vietnam and Cambodia also arrived, and the overseas Chinese population only exceeded 1000.

From the mid-1990s to the end of last century-after Finland 1995 joined the European Union, the immigration policy was very tight. People outside the EU can't come to work or settle down at all; However, the number of international students is increasing year by year, and many of the first foreign students stay for research or work in commercial organizations. By the end of last year, the population of China was about 2,000. There are more than 90 restaurants in China, including 53 in Helsinki, 8 in Espoo and more than 30 in other towns.
