The specialized literature in this regard focuses either on the development and implementation by the Chinese government of extraterritorial policies or on the impact of those policies on migrants. However, the ways both processes are linked remain barely explored. This article analyzes the trajectories of migrants with several decades of residence in the City of Buenos Aires. It investigates the strategies they develop to obtain the recognition of the Chinese state, assuming the role of "public diplomats". The methodology used is qualitative, based mainly on ethnographic work in the City of Buenos Aires in 2022. Several recent publications in digital media by the Chinese diaspora are also incorporated into the analysis. The conclusion indicates that the strategies that Chinese migrants in the City of Buenos Aires elaborate are encouraged by the quest for "gold and glory". That is, achieve a sound financial basis as well as obtain the recognition by the Chinese government, the latter especially by following and supporting official discourses and policies. In order to do so, they also use the influence of informal institutions and their hyper-integration into both Chinese and Argentine cultural configurations, in a context marked by China's leading role both globally and locally. En la actualidad, el Estado chino atribuye nuevos roles a sus diásporas. La literatura especializada se centra en el desarrollo y aplicación de las políticas extraterritoriales, o en su impacto en la vida cotidiana de los migrantes. Con el objetivo de enriquecer el análisis de las aún poco exploradas maneras en las que se vinculan ambos procesos, este artículo analiza las trayectorias de migrantes con varias décadas de residencia en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Interesa aquí examinar las estrategias que elaboran para ganar el reconocimiento por parte del Estado chino, asumiendo el rol de “diplomáticos públicos”. La metodología empleada es cualitativa, basada principalmente en el trabajoetnográfico en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires realizado en el transcurso de 2022. Asimismo, se incorporan al análisis diversas publicaciones recientes en medios digitales de la diáspora china. La conclusión indica que las estrategias desarrolladas por los migrantes chinos en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires están orientadas por la búsqueda de “oro y gloria”, esto es, se trata de lograr una base económica sólida y un reconocimiento por parte del Estado chino, este último aspecto demostrado especialmente en el eguimiento de y apoyo a sus discursos y políticas oficiales. Para ello, además, se valen de la fortaleza de las instituciones informales y de su hiperintegración a lasCambios culturales chinos y argentinos, en un contexto signado por el protagonismo de China tanto a nivel global como local. application/pdf application/epub+zip application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/8041 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/8041/7096 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/8041/7097 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/8041/7098 Copyright (c) 2023 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 8, No 2; e10 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 8, No 2; e10 2422-619X Antropología Social diáspora china, etnografía, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires In search of "gold" and "glory".Trajectories of Chinese migrants' mobility Chinese migrants forty years after they arrive in la city of Buenos Aires En busca del “oro” y la “gloria”.
