澳門華商與社團的關係網絡建構及其社會資本形成

The construction of the relationship network between Chinese business families and associations in Macao is an important part of Macao research. This paper focuses on the origin and development process of the Macao Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Kiang Wu Hospital Charitable Association, Tung Sin Tong, and the Chinese Educators Association of Macao, and explores how influential Chinese business families in Macao establish social relationship networks by supporting the development of associations. In essence, Chinese business families have formed a social network of mutually beneficial coexistence with the associations through the two-way interaction, thus increasing their social capital stock and forming social power.
