ЭТНИЧЕСКИЕ ВЬЕТНАМЦЫ (ЦЗИН) В КИТАЕ: ИСТОРИЯ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ И АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНЫЕ ПРОЦЕССЫ
The article summarizes the results of research-works on socio-cultural development of the ethnic Vietnamese Jing, one of ethnic minorities in China. The discussion on socio-cultural dynamics is preceded by a critical analysis of research literature on this group that reveals diverging positions of China and Vietnam regarding some elements of culture and language specific for the Jing. The importance of the study lies in insufficient and even inaccurate, in some cases, data on the Jing in international scholarly discourse, as well as in rapid and vast transformations taking place in the Jing indigenous territories due to huge projects undertaken by China and Vietnam in border areas. The research is based on both primary and secondary sources related to the topic.
