During the nineteenth century Asian countries pushed out a great population. The Chinese and Indians were the biggest group. Though there are no accurate population estimates, a maximum guesstimate of emigration put the total figure of both Chinese and Indians at about 47millions. This suggests that there was the great mass migration in Asia to be compared with the emigration from Europe to the American Continent, its figures amounting to about 50 millions. The migration movements in Asia took place mainly in response to the demands of the international market: while many countries in Asia were forced to be under the colonial control or undeveloped peripherv economies of the world capitalism, the great mass of the poor people was constrained to be out of their countries. There were two types in the Asian migration; emigrants as coolie in the plantation estates and mines, and emigrant groups engaged in the service sector and commercial activities in South East Asia, Chinese communities in particular. The case of Japan was not exceptional with the Asian types, but it was unique in its emigration policy that Japan made use of emigration for the purpose of her colonial invasion and the market expansion of her industrial products.
