The global diaspora of Chinese migrants maintains vital economic, social and cosmopolitan connections between China and many Western countries. These migrants face the challenge of navigating and building social capital within Western host countries. Previous studies show that Chinese networks make use of pre-existing strong  guanxi  ties based on shared cultural expectations to support members. However, the thinness of  guanxi  networks in foreign countries raises doubts about their capacity to support the migration experience. This study uses qualitative interview data to show that both Chinese migrants and non-migrant Australians use strong ties to acquire resources, such as favours. However, Chinese migrants also make use of weak  guanxi  ties to seek favours in ways Australian non-migrants typically do not. This indicates a more important role for weaker – or what we call peripheral – ties in Chinese migrant  guanxi  networks than previous studies suggest, but also points to a lack of alternative resources amongst Chinese migrants struggling to build non- guanxi  social capital ties with non-migrant populations.
