What does the overseas Chinese perspective mean?

Overseas Chinese perspective is a special perspective of international immigrant groups including millions of overseas Chinese.

Overseas Chinese are natural persons with China nationality who are designated to live abroad. They are citizens of People's Republic of China (PRC), enjoying the rights of citizens of China and fulfilling the corresponding obligations of citizens of China. The Constitution of China clearly stipulates that it is the responsibility of the China government to protect the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese.

Overseas Chinese refer to China citizens who are designated to live abroad. "China" and "overseas Chinese" are very clear in terms of the meaning of one word. "Hua" is the ancient name of China, and "Overseas Chinese" means living as a stranger or a guest. In ancient China, people living in other countries were called "overseas Chinese" and "overseas Chinese". With the rapid increase of the number of people living abroad, the words "Hua" and "Overseas Chinese" have been linked together to address China people living abroad. 1878, Chen Lanbin, Minister of the Qing Dynasty to the United States, called China people living abroad "expatriates" in his memorial. "Expatriate" has become a special term. 1883, Zheng used the word "overseas Chinese" in his memorial to Li Hongzhang. 1904, the foreign affairs department of the Qing government mentioned in a petition about setting up consulates overseas that "setting up consulates overseas costs little and overseas Chinese benefit a lot." Since then, the word "overseas Chinese" has become a special name for China people living abroad.
