While much research on migration and China focuses on the overseas Chinese, this research will instead analyse the migration of Taiwanese to China. This article uses data gathered in Dongguan and Shanghai in 2004-5 with follow-up interviews in 2008-10 to study the migration experiences of Taiwanese in China and to illustrate how class affects the migration of the privileged. Despite the diverse backgrounds of the female respondents considered in this article, most of them had a higher socio-economic status than the Chinese people they encountered. Because of the difference in social class, the respondents were reluctant to mix with locals. The ensuing sense of alienation has partly caused the respondents to identify themselves as less Chinese than before moving to China
