From the historical point of view, the overseas Chinese was contributory to the Republic of China: not only with respect of lasting traditional culture and holding national consciousness, but also with respect of politics, that is, assisting diplomacy, no matter official or unofficial. However, the overseas Chinese became doubtful about the policies of the new Government, governed by the D.P.P. since 2000, putting the People's Republic of China aside in making policies to serve for its ideology of Taiwan independence, and so making its policies themselves bonded by the ideology and the backward relationship between R.O.C. and P.R.C.
On the contrary, different from the period of the Culture Revolution, the attitude of Chinese abroad to P.R.C. has been changed from rejection to acceptance since 1980s. Because of the open policies, the Mainland China works on protecting its foreign residents and to release the customs inspection especially for studying abroad, in order to promote interflow on international trade, information, and culture. And, it spreads Chinese language and Sinology by taking advantage of its highly economic
development. The P.R.C. hence gradually be accepted by the overseas Chinese all over the world.
To contrast foreign residents' policies of R.O.C. with P.R.C., it changed a lot recently. As a result, the foreign residents' recognition of nation and culture is toward the Mainland China gradually. Therefore, policies of Chinese abroad are much more important than ever.
In my opinion, most researches, which focus on the overseas Chinese history, immigration, or the criticism and suggestion of recent policies, do not inquire into the political reasons behind policies and do not evaluate the possible effect from policies, neither. The immigration in the era of globalization is more common than before. Lots of new overseas Chinese immigrate into many different countries around the world to exploit new fields of diplomacy, affairs, and education concerning nationals living
abroad. The contradiction is that the intercourse among the cross-strait people is improved, but the official contact is demoted. I think the Government has to establish a cooperative institution for the cross-strait relationship, e.g., a community of the same culture, democratic consciousness, or economic cooperation, then it can fulfill the need of foreign residents.
