Abstract

Article deals with the problem of Chinese presence in Tuva in early 20th century. Capitalist development of China and the "New policty” of the Qin empire had opened Tuva for Chinese (Hanese) colonization. A decade of Chinese merchants and money-lenders activities lead to negative consequences for the Tuvan traditional household and amplification of Tuvan elites’ political dependency from China. It brought to a burst of anti-Chinese sentiments in region.
