China is a bit embarrassing in its attitude towards overseas Chinese, for this reason.

The largest and most economically successful group of Chinese people overseas are Southeast Asian Chinese.

Indonesia has a population of 200 million, about 10 million Chinese, Malaysia has 25 million, about 6 million Chinese, Thailand has 65 million, about 9 million Chinese, Singapore has more than 3 million, Chinese account for 90%, Philippines has 90 million, and Chinese are about 1 million, but about 20% of them are of Chinese descent.

The most impressive thing about the Chinese in Southeast Asia is probably their economic strength. For example, 70% of small and medium-sized enterprises in Malaysia are owned by Chinese, including manufacturing, construction and services.

Since the Bandung Conference, Zhou Enlai abolished China's dual nationality policy, Chinese people in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other places have begun to actively integrate into the country's society, especially Thailand and the Philippines. There are few Chinese in the traditional sense. In terms of name and language, Chinese people can no longer tell who is Chinese. However, the local people know very well about the family's Chinese ancestry.

People all know that Philippine Arroyo's husband is Chinese, and Thaksin of Thailand is Chinese. Few people may know that two-thirds of the members of the Thai Parliament are also Chinese. But these Chinese are already like some ethnic minorities in China, and are just Chinese in terms of blood.

In Southeast Asia, only Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia can truly maintain the traditional Chinese tradition on the scale of a group. Some people have divided Chinese from these three places into two types: traditional Chinese and Strait Chinese. Before, they usually speak Chinese, and when they talk about China, they are very friendly to call themselves Chinese, represented by the Chinese Chinese, Tan Kah Kee. Later, they usually speak English, read the English Straits Times West, and even shamed their Chinese faces, and represented by Lee Kuan Yew from Singapore. To the extent of the psychological changes of the Chinese in Southeast Asia over the past half century, it is the history of the changes of these two types of Chinese.

In a sense, the achievements of overseas Chinese far exceed all Hong Kong elites whom Li Ka-shing are. Hong Kong's wealth over the past half century has mostly relied on agency fees and trade fees earned by China's external window, while most of the rich in Hong Kong rely on Hong Kong's real estate wealth to make Hong Kong's real estate wealth. In addition to creating a few rich people, most Hong Kong people have no benefits. Instead, their lives have become stressful and they can only live in a house with a pigeon cage as a house slave.

Ironically, nearly half of Hong Kong people are provided by Chinese companies from mainland China.

Objectively speaking, Hong Kong already has some competitiveness, but most Hong Kong people still don’t see this. They are very ignorant and angry about the illusory so-called voting rights. Li Ka-shing should be considered a traditional Chinese, but Li Zekaijing, who has been studying in the United States since childhood, is considered a Chinese in the Straits.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Straits China was not very good in Southeast Asia. Most Chinese followed Chen Jiageng. The South General Association was founded in 1938. The meeting was located in Singapore. Chen Jiageng was elected as the chairman. The conference lists various crimes of Japanese invading China in modern times. It reveals that the Japanese invaders not only attempted to annex China, but also wanted to conquer the world. Now the Chinese nation has reached a critical moment in life and death. It calls on the eight million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to unite sincerely and swear to support the motherland government, contribute money and work, and send more remittances to support the War of Resistance. The War of Resistance will win and the founding of the People's Republic of China will be successful.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance of the Nanjing Government, the total donations of China in the eighth year of China's anti-Japanese war reached more than 1.3 billion yuan, with an average annual average of more than 160 million yuan. Among them, Nanyang China has the largest proportion of donations. Another item to support the anti-Japanese war is overseas Chinese remittances, which is that overseas Chinese send back to their motherland to support their relatives to remit money. The amount is larger than the donation.

Only from 1937 to 1943, overseas remittances through banks were reached by banking. According to statistics, a total of 5.5 billion yuan was as high as 800 million yuan per year. After 1942, all parts of Nanyang fell one after another, and remittances and donations were interrupted.

Overseas Chinese made considerable contributions to the motherland's war of resistance in terms of material resources. As of 1940, the land was incompletely counted. A total of 217 flying cars, 27 tanks, 1,000 ambulances, and a large number of medicines, raincoats, rubber shoes and other supplies were blocked in the late period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. A large number of overseas strategic materials supported by the Myanmar Anti-Japanese War could only be transported by Myanmar Highway. At that time, domestic workers and cars were in short supply. Transport was very difficult. Tan Ka-gen was entrusted by the Southwest Transportation Company of the Domestic Overseas Chinese Association to recruit more than 3,200 experienced, skilled and courageous workers from Singapore and Malaysia through the South China Overseas Chinese Association. He also donated more than 3,200 cars.

These overseas Chinese workers are full of national enthusiasm, parting with relatives and friends in Southeast Asia, and returning to the southwest of the motherland. They overcome all kinds of unimaginable difficulties on extremely rugged and dangerous transportation lines. They transport various strategic materials urgently needed in China. The average daily transportation volume is more than 300 tons.

Many Chinese in Southeast Asia also returned to China to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The most famous place among them was the Republic General Ye Fei. He was originally a Filipino overseas Chinese.

After the Anti-Japanese War to 1949, the traditional Chinese scriptures in Nanyang

It was a very painful period because most of them did not understand the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. They said that they just needed to recognize China. Partisan disputes were very unfamiliar to them because they knew the most, except for the righteousness of the Chinese nation, they were doing business, and they generally knew nothing about politics.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, the traditional Chinese people in Southeast Asia were still very confused, but the Korean War that followed made them very excited. In just five years, China has gone from a weak country that was bullied by Little Japan to an Eastern power that can defeat the United States, the number one power. The appeal of New China has also become increasingly greater among the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Singapore was founded in August 1965. At that time, when the national flag plan was discussed, some people proposed that the national flag must have five stars and red as China. This proposal was unanimously agreed by traditional Chinese people, so the Singapore flag we see now was found.

After the Indonesian anti-Chinese incident in 1998, many Chinese moved their funds out, and the funds removed in the second half of the year were about 80 billion US dollars. Although the funds were removed, many people's affairs were still in Indonesia, so many people chose to settle down in Singapore, and individuals flew back to Indonesia every week to set up their business.

However, although Lee Kuan Yew was very proud to say that he hoped Singapore would become a safe haven for Indonesian Chinese. For Indonesian Chinese who came to settle down in Xinhuan, his offer was one million Singapore dollars in cash, about 700,000 US dollars per green card, regardless of age. It is worth noting that this money is not an investment, but a ticket.

In fact, the problem that Indonesian Chinese people are facing is their nationality. For example, Indonesian badminton queen Wang Lianxiang won the Olympic women's singles gold medal in 1992, but there was a problem with the awards at that time because she had no Indonesian nationality at that time. Judging from the dual nationality cancelled by Zhou Enlai in 1954 and Taipei has always retained dual nationality, Wang Lianxiang at that time, strictly speaking, perhaps she should be considered a Chinese, and that gold medal should be considered a Chinese name in the name of Taipei in China.

Fan Wubing was not clear about these things. After hearing Boss Zhu tell him carefully, he had some understanding. It seems that the government is indeed in a bit embarrassed about this issue.

The cancellation of nationality at that time also has historical reasons, and it cannot be said that there is no vision. However, Boss Zhu also explained to Fan Wubing, "Although Singapore is in trouble with Chinese people, the fees are too high. It is obviously a selective input for the rich, and it is also the money of these Indonesian Chinese. Of course, we cannot be so kind, so this threshold cannot be set."

"It is good not to set thresholds, but once there is a large-scale immigration wave, it will be difficult for the country to cope with it." Fan Wubing thought to himself that there are more than 10 million Chinese in Indonesia. What does it mean if they all come here? It will be very scary when you think about it.

However, after thinking about it, it was not so. Although Chinese businessmen were rejected in Indonesia, the main targets of Indonesians are these rich Chinese businessmen. As for ordinary Chinese who have been assimilated, there is no oil or water to earn, so naturally there is no big deal.

At this time, those who want to immigrate and those who want to leave Indonesia are just these rich Chinese in Indonesia.

So Fan Wubing said, "It's good that this is not enough, there is no threshold, but there is a priority."

"What is the priority question?" Boss Zhu asked in confusion.

Fan Wubing replied, "The ones that were hit hard in this riot and suffered serious physical and mental trauma are the focus of our assistance. We should assist local Chinese people in jointly protecting themselves and promoting unity and cooperation in the Chinese community. This is the focus. As for those who are willing to immigrate, there should always be a small threshold, at least the tickets can always be afforded, right?"

Boss Zhu made a gesture, "It's your flying family anyway, you can do it yourself!"

His words actually meant that he had full trust in Fan Wubing and was willing to make arrangements by Fan Wubing himself. In fact, he didn't believe that Fan Wubing would do whatever he wanted on this issue. After all, Fan Wubing also has a father who is a member of the Politburo, and his feelings must be taken into account in all aspects.

The rescue obviously cannot be infinite, otherwise it will cause a rebound in Indonesia. At that time, the situation will only become more serious and more difficult to control. Therefore, Fan Wubing thinks that the key task is to resolve the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia as soon as possible. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the door to China is open, so that Indonesian Chinese businessmen can easily take refuge in the mainland.

Only the rich think that immigration is necessary, while those poor, although they do not have much property in Indonesia, have a huge family worth a lot of money and are always reluctant to leave.
