Sumario:This article attempts to question the assumption that Confucian values are inherent to the Chinese family and that these values can explain economic success among Chinese overseas. An analysis of Chinese immigrants in Denmark unveils that cultural values are renegotiated in the Danish context as a product of socio-economic conditions. As a result a strong patriarchal family institution has merged and is sustained by the demands of the ethnis niche economy of catering. In contrast to explanations of Chinese overseas economic success as related to the Confucian family ideology of Chinese families in Denmark is one reason among others for the present economic crisis in the Chinese niche of catering.
