胡錦濤主政時期僑務政策研究（2002-2009）

Abstract

The era of Hu Jintao was ushered in after he held the title of General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in 2002. During the year 2002 to 2009, China has witnessed a greater improvement and result in the matters of social and economic development, international participation, cross-strait relations and overseas Chinese affairs. In regards of the social and economic development, “the Scientific Outlook on Development” was a part of Hu Jintoa’s theories of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” raised at 17th Party Congress in 2007, defining as “an important guidance for economic and social development and a major strategic that must be upheld and applied in developing socialism with Chinese characteristics”. This is to put “building a harmonious socialist society” as a main objective, formulating a moderately prosperous society which is agreeable and human-centric. Looking at the progress of international relations, there is the white paper on Peaceful Development Road published by the Chinese government on Dec. 2005, which promised a future of peaceful development by promoting a friendly international environment to push forward itself, stressing peace, development, cooperation, and building a harmonious world of sustained peace and common prosperity along with other countries. With respect to the cross-strait relations, a positive and profound influence was seen in the international and overseas community after the adoption of “One-China policy” in Anti-Secession Law, which was ratified on March 14, 2005 by the Communist Party of China (CPC). In the mean time, great impact and stress was laid upon the Taiwanese government and their overseas compatriot affairs. As for the policy concerning Taiwan and overseas Chinese, Hu Jintao stressed in the meeting with delegates of the national overseas Chinese affairs commission, that there has been great success in regard to the contribution of overseas Chinese in the grand objective of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, slashing “Taiwan Independence” attempt, achieving peace and national unity, advancing grassroots’ diplomacy, spreading the great Chinese culture and promoting the relationship between Chinese and people from around the world. Through the review of literature and history events, this study focuses on the milestone of Hu Jintao administration between 2002 to 2009, organizing, categorizing, generalizing and analyzing data in all areas so as to understand the Party’s policy on overseas Chinese. We discuss the context and content of these polices, and observe the reaction on the Taiwanese government. CPC utilizes overseas Chinese’s effort and the subsequent impact in political, economical, cultural and educational sphere. In light of this, this study illuminates CPC’s current strategy and predict the outlook of their overseas Chinese policies, helping with future studies.
