Since 2024, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Department of Zhaoqing City has closely followed the work deployment of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Zhaoqing Municipal Party Committee on doing a good job in the "Overseas Chinese" article in the new era, actively gathered the hearts, wisdom and strength of overseas Chinese, and contributed to the in-depth promotion of the "Hundreds of Millions of Projects".
Zhaoqing adheres to the working model of "warming overseas Chinese with heart, gathering overseas Chinese with affection, and connecting overseas Chinese with visits", widely contacts overseas Chinese communities and overseas Chinese, and continuously deepens "inviting in" and "going out", expanding Zhaoqing's overseas contacts and awareness.
Zhaoqing Overseas Chinese Affairs Department promotes in-depth and wide-ranging exchanges and cooperation with overseas Chinese groups (communities).
Since the beginning of this year, 11 groups of overseas Chinese businessmen and leaders from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Malaysia and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, totaling more than 80 people, have visited Zhaoqing; Zhaoqing has visited Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and other countries to strengthen friendship and exchanges with the Victoria Multicultural Education Association of Australia, the Chinese Cultural Exchange Association of New Zealand, and the Shunde Association of Malaysia, and promote Zhaoqing City to establish in-depth and wide-ranging exchanges and cooperation with overseas Chinese groups (communities).
At the same time, Zhaoqing gathers wisdom and empowers, playing a song of serving the overall situation. The work cases of two overseas Chinese representatives in Zhaoqing City were selected into the first batch of typical selected cases of the "Hundreds of Millions of Projects" action for overseas Chinese assistance in the province, and a representative of overseas Chinese youth entrepreneurs made an exchange speech at the conference. Zhaoqing explored strengthening the "government-enterprise-school" tripartite cooperation, and signed the "Framework Agreement on Strengthening the Cooperation Base for Chinese Overseas Chinese International Cultural Exchange" with Zhaoqing Zhongyan Leisure Industry Development Co., Ltd. and Jinan University Overseas Chinese Federation to help the "Chinese Overseas Chinese International Cultural Exchange Base" - Zhaoqing Yanzhou Island High-quality Development. The exhibition of calligraphy and painting works by famous Chinese artist Qu Yuan was held, with the theme of "Art as a Bridge, Building Dreams Together", to further deepen the understanding and appreciation of Chinese calligraphy and painting among the overseas Chinese community and promote the inheritance and innovation of China's excellent traditional culture.
Zhaoqing also carried out activities such as "I Plant a Tree for My Hometown and Build Zhaoqing Tongxin Forest Together", planting "Assistance Forest" to help rural greening, and planting trees in "Overseas Chinese Forest", actively guiding the overseas Chinese community to actively participate in the construction of green and beautiful Zhaoqing ecology. In the first half of the year, more than 10 tree planting activities were mobilized for the overseas Chinese community, with about 500 participants, and more than 2,000 tree seedlings of various types such as wind bells, osmanthus trees, and iron holly were planted, raising about 180,000 yuan in funds.
Love and protect overseas Chinese, and draw a concentric circle of unity and struggle. The Overseas Chinese Affairs Department of Zhaoqing City strengthened guidance and promoted the construction and upgrading of grassroots "Overseas Chinese Homes". Up to now, 13 "Overseas Chinese Homes" at all levels have been built in the city, and related work has made typical experience speeches at the provincial exchange activities to promote the construction of "Overseas Chinese Homes". Organize and carry out a series of publicity activities on overseas Chinese laws, do a good job in interpreting and answering questions about laws and regulations related to overseas Chinese, strengthen overseas Chinese's understanding and knowledge of overseas Chinese laws, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese.
On this basis, Zhaoqing conscientiously confirms the identities of "three overseas Chinese students" and handles the settlement of overseas Chinese returning to China; carries out condolences, student aid and other activities to benefit and warm overseas Chinese, provides more assistance to the needy overseas Chinese community, and effectively sends the care of the Party and the government to the hearts of the needy people; organizes traditional food production skills training courses for returned overseas Chinese and their families, helps returned overseas Chinese and their families improve their employment ability and broaden their employment channels, allows overseas Chinese to feel warmth and support, and further enhances their sense of belonging and centripetal force.
