Jia also revealed four targets he hopes the overseas Chinese entrepreneurs can work towards.
First, to continue to integrate into their local societies and contribute to the economic and social development of the host countries;
Second, to maintain the tradition of being devoted to the motherland and their hometowns and to actively engage in building a modern China;
Third, to promote exchanges across the Taiwan Straits and to advance the great cause of peaceful reunification of China;
Fourth, to bring into full play the overseas Chinese' role as a bridge in deepening mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese and people around the world.
