Overseas Chinese also occupy an important position in the history of New China. General Ye Fei is an overseas Chinese returning from the Philippines, and industrialist Chen Jiageng also holds an important position as the vice chairman of the China People's Political Consultative Conference. During the Cultural Revolution, the contact with overseas Chinese was once seriously affected. At that time, overseas relations were even criticized, and many returned overseas Chinese were treated unfairly.

After the reform and opening up, China's overseas Chinese policy has been restored to its original level and strengthened. In the1980s, China tried to actively seek the support of overseas Chinese in other aspects and seek their technology and funds to help develop. Many overseas Chinese invest in Chinese mainland, providing financial resources, social and cultural networks, mutual exchanges and opportunities.
