Developing Motherland and Benefitting-Assisting Overseas Chinese (xingguo li qiao-zhu qiao)

The plan has two components: the first aims to promote the interaction between overseas Chinese and ‘new migrants’ (those who left China after 1980s) on a global scale. Activities include the pairing of Chinese associations in North America with those in South-East Asia to facilitate collaboration. The plan also promotes websites of Chinese associations and plans to hold web-based business and technology fairs among Chinese around the world. The second component seeks to enhance connections between Chinese communities overseas and China. For example, delegations were sent from China to North America to raise
the community’s awareness of China’s recent policy to attract returnees.
