Abstract

Abstract: Objective. This study is part of an exploratory and descriptive research on mixed families in China, in which one of the spouses is a Chinese citizen and the other one is a native of a Latin American country. Methodology. The methodology chosen is a qualitative approach; the data compilation was made through interviews conducted in 2021 at different cities around China. Results. Among the main results of the fieldwork, we may highlight the different migrant profiles based on the participants’ city of origin, residence, and journey, two types of Latino-Chinese intermarriages, and the fact that the couples who participated in the research expect to stay in China. In terms of family arrangements, we focus on parenting decisions and the nationality that the parents elect for their children. Conclusions: These families develop marital and family systems in which the characteristics inherent in their culture of origin and the specific circumstances of present life in China are in negotiation and tension.
