Abstract
With the increasing outflow of migrants from the People’s Republic of China, many professional Chinese men have been coming to the United Kingdom (UK) for further education and employment. Their wives frequently migrate to the UK as following spouses, to assist their husbands with their educational and career advancement. Based on qualitative data, this article explores women’s attitudes to family migrations triggered by their husbands. Although their perceptions of their roles as wives contributed to the reasons behind the decisions of these women to migrate to the UK, most were able to successfully transform their personal sacrifice into a bargaining chip with their husbands in future decision-making processes.
