Jia Qinglin voices 5 point hope for overseas Chinese
KOBE—China’s top political
adviser Jia Qinglin voiced here Saturday his five-point hope for
overseas Chinese when addressing the opening ceremony of the 9th World
Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC).
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said the first is that
overseas Chinese can live harmoniously with local people and actively
push forward the development and progress of the country they live in.
The second is that China welcomes overseas Chinese, with their own
advantages, to take part in China’s modernization in various forms.
The third is that overseas Chinese can be united closely in opposing
“Taiwan independence” secessionist activities in any form, and
continuously promote personnel, economic and cultural exchanges across
the Straits so as to push for an early realization of China’ s
reunification. The fourth is that overseas Chinese, while learning from
other countries, can carry forward and promote Chinese culture.
The fifth is that overseas Chinese can help promote people-to-people
friendship between China and other countries in the world. Jia said
China’s modernization needs overseas Chinese to make new contributions,
and can also provide important development opportunities for them. Jia,
who started an official goodwill visit to Japan Wednesday as guest of
the Japanese government, also briefed participants on China’s domestic
situation and Sino-Japanese relations.
The convention, with the theme as “To win with peace, harmony and
cooperation and to benefit the world”, is aimed at promoting exchanges
among global ethnic Chinese as well as those between Chinese and
Japanese. More than 3,000 ethnic Chinese from over 30 countries and
regions are here to enhance business exchange and networking in the
three-day convention.
During the convention, presentations of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and
2010 Shanghai World Expo will also be held in Japan, together with a
number of other cultural, sports and tourism programs. The WCEC has been
successfully held in Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Vancouver,
Melbourne, Nanjing, Malaysia and Seoul since its birth in 1991.
