The Historical Significance and Contemporary Development of Mao Zedong's Overseas Chinese Affairs Thought
Mao Zedong attached great importance to the strength of overseas Chinese and emphasized the principled and flexi-ble nature of overseas Chinese affairs policies,expressing earnest expectations for overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese af-fairs work.In the practice of socialist construction,Mao Zedong's thought facilitated the establishment of the anti-Japanese na-tional united front,emphasized the education and guidance of overseas Chinese,and conducted a series of explorations through policies such as the cancellation of dual nationality.Mao Zedong's overseas Chinese affairs thought continues to influence Chi-na's overseas Chinese affairs work in different historical periods.Especially since the reform and opening up,Deng Xiaoping,Jiang Zemin,Hu Jintao,and other party and state leaders have innovated in theory and practice regarding overseas Chinese af-fairs work.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the important role of overseas Chinese in national development and international cooperation,considering them as a significant force in promoting the Chinese Dream.Therefore,it is necessary to deeply understand the theoretical connotations of Mao Zedong's overseas Chinese affairs thought,provide beneficial references for overseas Chinese affairs work,and promote the comprehensive development of overseas Chinese affairs in the new era.
