Abstract

In recent years, a number of successful Malaysian Chinese businessmen, have made regular public declaration of their Chinese faith. The paper looks at who these Chinese Christian businessmen are, their businesses, and their relationship with the Christian community and the larger Chinese society. The paper explains that a visible and influential Chinese Christian business group emerged since 1971 because of expanding state role in the economy, Islamic resurgence, and the influence of two international movements: global Christianity and “diaspora” Chinese amidst a rising China.
