Biography

Yui Chim Lo is a historian specializing in modern China and its connections to global and regional contexts. Her work particularly focuses on the intersections of migration, diasporas, internationalism, and decolonization. Currently, she is examining early twentieth-century China's policies on external migration control and how these shaped global debates on migration and race. Lo is actively investigating the agency of non-Western states in the worldwide diffusion of border control and delving into the narratives constructed by Chinese policymakers regarding post-war Asia. Throughout her work, she highlights how Chinese and Indian representatives during significant historical conferences and organizations sought to promote their visions against the backdrop of Southeast Asian interests. Her research reveals the attempts by China and India to revive Asianism post-1945 and the competing ideologies during that era. She has contributed to various academic journals, including the Journal of Contemporary History and the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History.
