Abstract: In this article, we will analyze the issue of Chinese newcomers from Behoririka. This area is located in the city center of Antananarivo, in Madagascar. Behoririka also happened to be a leisure destination close to an artificial lake where there are many Chinese restaurants. These different characteristics will allow us to question a contemporary phenomenon that should be placed chronologically. By the end of the 19th century, Chinese were already present in Madagascar as wage laborers in a colony. Then, during the establishment of the second Malagasy Socialist Republic in 1975, there were other migratory flows from China to Madagascar due to the ideological proximity with the Republic of China. The current south-south migration from China to Madagascar raises the question of how these new businesses will be established in the heart of the Malagasy capital. We will draw up a typology of the different overseas Chinese actors in this place, in order to examine the content of this migratory flow and to highlight the various reasons behind these journeys. This will allow us to analyze the stage relative to their anchoring as new actors of Antananarivo over a recent period, from 2003 to 2012.
