| Summary: | Since achieving its independence, Malaysia hitherto faces challenges in
reaching unity and national integration among its people mainly due to its
pluralistic background. The effectiveness of the government policies in
building a nation-state is heavily contingent upon the understanding and
interpretation of each ethnic group’s identity. Thus, this paper is trying to
provide an understanding of the nature of the Chinese identity and Chineseness.
By using interactionism theory, I try to present an analysis on the dynamics of
Chinese identity when the Chinese are in the different societal environment,
i.e. from China to Malaysia
