| Summary/Abstract |
This article studies PRC policy toward the Chinese diaspora during the periods of Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping (from 1993 to the present). This period saw the evolution of mechanisms created earlier for working abroad with Chinese expatriates (huaqiao-huareri), domestically with huaqiao-huaren who have returned to China, relatives of émigrés, and émigrés who have returned to China (guiqiao-qiaojuan) in a flexible system capable of adapting to the Chinese and international reality and effectively drawing the resources of the diaspora to implementing grand PRC projects and initiatives.
