 nThis presentation explores how the German-Speaking Protestant Basel Missio
 n shaped the modern overseas Hakka diaspora during the late Qing period by 
 facilitating Hakka migration through its ties with the British colonial gov

 nections with Hakka communities across Southeast Asia and the Americas. Thr
 ough these religious networks\, Christianity became a key resource for adap
 tation and the formation of a shared diasporic identity.
