Studying and practicing Scientific Outlook on Development is an important political task for overseas Chinese affairs. Studying and practicing Scientific Outlook on Development deeply is an urgent need to adapt to the profound changes in the overseas Chinese community at home and abroad and promote the scientific development of overseas Chinese affairs. It is also an urgent need to thoroughly implement the spirit of the National Overseas Chinese Affairs Conference and do a good job in overseas Chinese affairs. It is also an urgent need to promote the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of overseas Chinese affairs in the spirit of reform and innovation. The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office is the bridge and link between the Party and the government and the vast number of overseas Chinese and their relatives.
Overseas Chinese are their warm homes, and doing a good job in overseas Chinese affairs is a concrete manifestation of our in-depth implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the re-establishment of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. Facing the characteristics of overseas Chinese affairs and the main problems that affect the scientific development of overseas Chinese affairs, we think about the characteristics and methods of overseas Chinese affairs under the new situation as follows:
First, the characteristics of the current overseas Chinese affairs work
(1) The number of new generations of overseas Chinese and new immigrants with * * nationality has increased.
* * Overseas Chinese resources are less than those in coastal provinces and cities, but with the deepening of reform and opening up, citizens go abroad to study, do business and run enterprises, showing an upward trend every year. At present, there are 3,594 overseas Chinese living in * * city, distributed in 46 countries and regions in the world, with more than 1500 compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao. The new generation of Chinese and new immigrants after the reform and opening up have gradually become an important force in overseas Chinese society. There are many overseas Chinese with political influence, economic strength, social prestige and academic achievements. For example, Mr. Wang Shengqi, a researcher and double doctor at the United States Air Force Base in Zongyang County, and his daughter, Ms. Wang Yuan. Do you want to become a citizen of China? . Tongcheng is from Hong Kong? New ship king? Mr. Gui, who created a project from 654.38+million to 10 billion? Wealth myth? . Mr Yao Guoan, a Hong Kong resident of Zongyang? Wait a minute.
(2) Overseas Chinese return to their hometowns to start businesses.
In the past two years, the number of overseas Chinese who set up new entities to support the economic construction in their hometown, returned to China to start businesses, and the number of people who supported relatives and friends to invest and start businesses have also increased significantly. There are more than one overseas Chinese-funded enterprise 1 10, two overseas Chinese-funded enterprises10 with investment exceeding 100 million yuan, and two overseas Chinese-funded enterprises with tax payment exceeding 10 million yuan. For example, in 2007 alone, Mr. Yin, an American Chinese, invested 3 million yuan to purchase 149 mu of land in Zongyang Textile Industrial Park and founded the Industrial Co., Ltd. In the same year, Mr. Russian Chinese invested130,000 US dollars to establish Anhui Jinghua Home Textiles Co., Ltd. in Wangjiang County Development Zone. Hong kong? Ship king? Mr. Gui invested in shipping, real estate, five-star hotels and other projects in Anhui. In May 2007, more than 654.38 billion yuan will be invested to build a port and dock in * *. And promised to Wang Jinshan, then governor, that we would put all the income from investing in our hometown and continue to invest and develop in our hometown without taking a penny from our hometown? .
(3) Overseas Chinese support the economic and social development of * *
In recent years, overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao have successively set up 95 public welfare undertakings in poverty-stricken areas through the Municipal Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, with a donation of 23.63 million yuan. For example, Mr. Zhu Enyu, a Hong Kong resident, donated 3.53 million yuan to 32 primary schools in Taihu Lake, Yuexi, Qianshan, Susong, Tongcheng and other counties (cities) for the renovation of dilapidated buildings and the construction of teaching buildings. Mr. Shen, a Hong Kong resident, donated RMB 1 0.65 million to Yuexi, Taihu, Zongyang and Wangjiang counties for renovation of dilapidated buildings and construction of teaching buildings. Mr Wang Jinming, a Japanese-born China? Wait a minute.
(4) The wishes and demands of overseas Chinese, returned overseas Chinese and their relatives are diverse.
In the past two years, overseas Chinese have inquired about domestic policies, investment environment and requirements for setting up entities in their hometowns, and frequently made field visits. For example, Mr. Liu, the leader of overseas Chinese in Sweden, made three visits in 2006 and 2007, hoping to invest in * *. Mr. Chen, the British overseas Chinese leader, has visited Huaining County, Daguan District and Yixiu District four times to find partners or business opportunities. In 2008, Mr. Qi Chao, Chairman of Shanghai Donghuan Industrial Co., Ltd., inspected the large-scale planting projects of renewable energy ecological trees in Taihu Lake, Huaining and Yixiu. Overseas Chinese enterprises with overseas Chinese capital in this city hope to coordinate when they encounter difficulties in operation. Overseas Chinese-funded enterprises have made mistakes in operating as legal persons, and they expect the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to come forward to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Returned overseas Chinese and their relatives in cities, especially those living in rural areas, are struggling to seek help. There are 58 returned overseas Chinese living in rural areas and 2348 overseas Chinese relatives. We expect the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to provide policy support and help in life.
Two, the main problems affecting the development of overseas Chinese science
(A) the overseas Chinese policy is relatively backward and imperfect.
Most overseas Chinese policies were promulgated in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the formulation and implementation of these policies still play a universal guiding role in the development of overseas Chinese affairs. For example:? Equal treatment, non-discrimination, and appropriate care according to characteristics? Policy. ? Sixteen characters? This policy has played a very important role in attracting overseas Chinese to return to China to start businesses and mobilizing the enthusiasm of returned overseas Chinese and their relatives. In the new development period, new changes have taken place in the national conditions and overseas Chinese feelings, giving the overseas Chinese community a special group? Proper care? This principle has not yet appeared in economically backward areas. Lack of correct guidance and guidance for the problems arising under the new situation. For example, there are no authoritative and systematic regulations on protecting overseas Chinese from starting businesses, helping overseas Chinese in difficulties, developing overseas Chinese economy, supporting overseas Chinese families in difficulties to develop production and improving people's livelihood.
(2) Overseas Chinese affairs institutions have not been strengthened accordingly.
With the wave after wave of institutional reforms, overseas Chinese organizations are gradually declining, their functions are gradually marginalized, and their ranks cannot be effectively enriched. Seven counties, one city and three district governments have only set up overseas Chinese affairs offices in Taihu Lake, Huaining, Yuexi and Tongcheng. The overseas Chinese affairs offices of Zongyang, Wangjiang, Susong and Qianshan governments are co-located with government offices, while Yingjiang, Daguan and Yixiu governments have no overseas Chinese affairs offices. All towns and sub-district offices in the city have no overseas Chinese affairs work, and the strength of overseas Chinese affairs work is obviously insufficient. The funds for overseas Chinese are not guaranteed as they should be, and even the expenses for entertaining overseas Chinese depend on it. Who benefits, who pays? ; The subject of overseas Chinese law enforcement is not guaranteed; It is gradually drifting away from the requirements of socialized overseas Chinese affairs and does not match the work tasks in the new period.
Third, thinking about the working methods of overseas Chinese affairs under the new situation.
(a) must adhere to? People-oriented, serving overseas Chinese? The purpose of
Realizing, safeguarding and developing the fundamental interests of the people in the overseas Chinese community is the primary task entrusted by the party and the government to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. At work, we should treat overseas Chinese sincerely, treat overseas Chinese sincerely, attract overseas Chinese sincerely, and further enhance the initiative of serving overseas Chinese.
(2) Must we insist? Sixteen characters? policy
Is it being implemented? Sixteen characters? In terms of policy, should we put? Proper care? Execute it. Do it carefully? Overseas Chinese? Students get extra points in the entrance examination, and retired overseas Chinese workers enjoy retirement pension subsidies. Actively strive to implement the living allowance for overseas Chinese living in rural areas, discount loans for overseas Chinese-funded enterprises and other policies to benefit overseas Chinese. The implementation of these policies not only reflects the concern and love of the party and the government for the overseas Chinese community, but also is welcomed by the vast number of returned overseas Chinese and their relatives, which is well reflected by overseas Chinese.
(3) The construction of service economy must be regarded as the central task of overseas Chinese affairs.
Judging from the development of overseas Chinese-funded enterprises in the past two years, the development of local economy needs the participation and support of overseas Chinese, and the development of local economy also provides opportunities and stages for overseas Chinese to start businesses. The vast number of overseas Chinese have rich human, financial and intellectual resources. They are familiar with international rules and practices and master advanced science and technology and management experience. Overseas Chinese affairs work serves economic construction, mainly by making use of its own advantages to draw a good line and build a good bridge for attracting investment. Secondly, we should do a good job in project tracking service to serve the development of county economy.
(four) to improve the innovation mechanism, so that overseas Chinese affairs work is full of vitality and vitality.
Only by establishing and perfecting the overseas Chinese affairs working mechanism that adapts to the local overseas Chinese situation and market conditions can we better meet the needs of Scientific Outlook on Development and strive to complete the historical mission undertaken by overseas Chinese affairs in the new period. The first is to innovate the mechanism of serving overseas Chinese. First, it is necessary to resume the establishment of district-level government overseas Chinese affairs agencies and clarify that specialized personnel are responsible for overseas Chinese affairs. Second, it is necessary to establish a liaison mechanism for overseas Chinese affairs in township and sub-district offices, and select an educated and experienced cadre as a liaison to coordinate and handle overseas Chinese affairs in the region and the unit, so as to ensure smooth information and put the work in place. Third, establish a contact mechanism for overseas Chinese enterprises. In the city 1 10, a liaison mechanism has been established to keep abreast of the details of enterprises and provide targeted services to help enterprises develop. Second, innovate the means of serving overseas Chinese. First of all, we should establish a regular visit system. Visit and understand the special situation of poor returned overseas Chinese and their relatives in scattered rural areas, the living allowance of returned overseas Chinese, find out the base and take poverty alleviation measures. Visit and understand the production and operation of overseas Chinese-funded enterprises, and drive county and district leaders to pay attention to overseas Chinese-funded enterprises. The second is to establish a regular contact system, through which we can keep abreast of the production and living conditions of returned overseas Chinese and their relatives at the grassroots level, so as to make the service for overseas Chinese more targeted. Third, to build? Siqiao? Regular activities system, the Municipal People's Congress, the CPPCC Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Overseas Chinese Committee, the Municipal Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the Municipal Federation of Overseas Chinese regularly carry out activities to further socialize overseas Chinese affairs.
In short, as a government department in charge of overseas Chinese affairs, it is necessary to play a leading role in overseas Chinese affairs, actively integrate resources, form a joint force, boldly tap overseas Chinese resources in society, break the rules and regulations, and use all resources for the help of returned overseas Chinese and their relatives in difficulties, for the revitalization of overseas Chinese enterprises in difficulties, and for improving the working environment of overseas Chinese.
