Zeng, S., & Wang, L. Diasporic Practices and Cultural Identifications of Shanghainese Seamen in Liverpool. SAGE Open. 2024; 14(3). https://doi.org/10.1177/21582440241268806

The authors would like to alert readers to changes in the above-listed article. An additional three citations (in bold lettering) have been added to the following paragraph in the Introduction:

“Throughout the war, Chinese seafarers comprised 5% of the allied merchant marine and one of Britain’s largest immigrant workforces, tasked with ferrying tonnage between Allied nations (Oyen, 2014, p. 526; Zhang, 2021, p. 139; for the treatment of Chinese sailors aboard British ships, see Foley & Foley, 2018; for that aboard allied ships in general, see Oyen, 2014, H. Lee, 2018 and Zhang, 2021). After the war, many of them returned home or were repatriated after the war, reducing the community to its pre-war proportions. In the year following the war’s end, Britain discreetly deported an estimated 5,000 Chinese naval veterans—300 of them forcibly separated from their children (Castle, 2015; Zhang, 2021). This post-war treatment of Chinese seafarers is described as ‘‘recruitment followed by repudiation’’ by the British historians Benton and Gomez (2007, p. 30), which came as a common practice among the Allied nations (Zhang, 2021, p. 142).”

The addition of these citations was prompted by the authors being made aware that they had overlooked the citation of the previously published article, Zhang, J. Navigating Exclusion Across Space and Time: Chinese Seafarers in the United States, Norway, and Britain Before, During, and Beyond World War II. 2021. Available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/368825221_Navigating_Exclusion_Across_Space_and_Time_Chinese_Seafarers_in_the_United_States_Norway_and_Britain_Before_During_and_Beyond_World_War_II

This change does not impact the reference list as the article by Zhang, J. had been referenced in the previously published version.

The Managing Editor confirmed that the correction does not alter the overall results or conclusions of the article.

The authors apologize to readers for this inadvertent error.
