Six hundred and seventieth chapters of the law
Mr. Liu's words shocked the bigwigs of the Politburo, but Mr. Liu said it well at all, although not every overseas Chinese still has a strong sense of nationality and is willing to do something for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. However, from the mainstream perspective, overseas Chinese are still a huge force that mainlanders can rely on. Since the Xinhai period, all resistance to foreign humiliation has been made and even bloody sacrifices.
Therefore, whether in terms of historical contribution or future development, it is necessary to fulfill the responsibility of protecting the motherland and mainland China to overseas Chinese. Whether in terms of culture or blood, these Chinese who work hard overseas are still our perfect compatriots. Due to the rapid development of mainland reform and opening up over the past few decades, overseas Chinese investment has occupied a large part. It can be said that without the influx of huge amount of funds from overseas Chinese, mainland development will be a different scene.
Of course, these bigwigs who were able to join the Politburo knew these things well. In addition, after several consecutive battles, the committee members who became more and more confident in the domestic military power could not tolerate a small Filipino maid who jumped out and bullied the Chinese so much that they had no power to fight back.
So everyone had aspirations and agreed to formally intervene in this matter. However, when everyone discussed how to do it, they suddenly realized that from a legal perspective, we could not find a suitable excuse for intervention.
Because our nationality law excludes the option of dual nationality, these Chinese living in overseas Chinese, from the current nationality law, choose local nationality and lose their Chinese nationality, which means they have no legal connection with us.
The Nansha Islands are our always inherent territory. Historical classics are obvious and irrefutably prove the ownership of these islands. Therefore, we have made famous troops and can stand the name of great righteousness. In the current situation where our national strength cannot dominate the world, making famous troops is a criterion we pursue.
However, the matter of Chinese and overseas Chinese now has restricted this principle, and no one can find any reason to interfere in a substantial way, which has led to the fact that the teacher is not well-known. Facing this problem, everyone feels helpless for a moment.
You should know that the US military is still heavily stationed near Manila and has no right to be a good man. How can China put a strong pressure on the Philippine maids and urge them to effectively protect the obligations of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the country?
"Dual nationality is a way that many countries in the world generally acknowledge and acknowledge." In this case, Politburo member Wu Shusen, who has a master's degree in law, said, "Whether it is the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy and other countries in developed countries in Europe and the United States respect the choice of nationality in their own citizens in their place of residence and do not recognize that their citizens have lost their nationality because they have obtained the nationality of the country of residence."
"This tacit consent has played a very important role in winning fair treatment in the countries where the overseas Chinese resides. On the other hand, our Nationality Law explicitly abolishes the treatment of dual nationality for overseas Chinese. Article 3 stipulates: The People's Republic of China does not recognize that Chinese citizens have dual nationality. This provision is mainly a compromise policy made in a specific period, which played a certain role in opening up the diplomatic situation at that time."
"But this regulation has caused Chinese overseas to lose their greatest basic rights and the most important protective umbrella from the mainland of the motherland, and thus they are often treated unfairly and persecuted in overseas residences, but we were completely powerless in this before. Just like the situation we are facing today, we can't even find a great name to take action."
"So, I believe that for the welfare of 80 million Chinese overseas, it is necessary for us to adjust this unreasonable provision, adopt the mainstream practice of treating dual nationality with countries around the world, cancel the third provision, and admit that overseas Chinese have dual nationality in disguise by acquiescent recognition, thereby solving the most important legal issue for us to protect Chinese and overseas Chinese now and in the future."
What Wu Shusen said is a bit professional for other committee members, but it does not prevent everyone from understanding the connotation behind his suggestion: If we want to solve the legal issue of protecting overseas Chinese once and for all, we must modify our current nationality law and acquiesce to recognize the existence of dual nationality.
For most members, this issue is not a problem. Today, dual nationality is no longer a big obstacle to our country. Our strong economic strength is an existence that most countries in the world cannot ignore. With the return of Taiwan, we don’t have to worry about the implementation of dual nationality that will lead to our diplomatic passiveness.
On the contrary, if the recognition of the dual nationality of overseas Chinese will greatly enhance the political status and influence of overseas Chinese, it will be a very beneficial thing for the development of my country's diplomacy in the long run. Just like the world's Jews to Israel, it will allow overseas Chinese groups to form a huge interest group and affect the relationship between the country and China.
Although in the short term, ASEAN countries with tens of millions of Chinese and overseas Chinese may have a strong rebound, once they understand that this matter is irreversible, they will actually change their previous discrimination policies against Chinese and overseas Chinese. No ASEAN country can ignore the existence of China, a behemoth.
Obtaining fair treatment will make Chinese and overseas Chinese in ASEAN feel more sense of belonging and play a better role in local economic development. After all, the same language and family will be more effective and convenient in the process of economic exchanges. Therefore, in the long run, it is also a win-win situation for overseas Chinese countries. It is just that this process can not be achieved overnight in three to five years.
With such a foundation, everyone quickly agreed to request the National People's Congress to make necessary amendments to this law. Faced with such a huge change, when the draft amendment to the Nationality Law proposed by the Politburo was soon approved by the vast majority of people. The domestic people did not care about the dual nationality issue. They just learned from experts that we can legitimately help Chinese overseas, which is enough. As for the process, that is what the experts do.
For overseas Chinese, this news is as shocking as the world-breaking. Many overseas Chinese even burst into tears when they hear the news, because for them, when they have Chinese nationality again and have protection from their motherland, they can truly have the strongest guarantee overseas, and from then on, they will no longer be bullied by the rootless duckweed.
In order to express support for this new law that is beneficial to overseas Chinese, the support of tens of millions of overseas Chinese initiated by overseas Chinese was collected through the Internet within a few days! You should know that this is not a voting online, and a large number of them can be achieved with a large number of false clicks through various methods, but the actual signatures of overseas Chinese, a large part of which also have their own bright red fingerprints.
This fact shows how popular this amendment bill is.
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress passed the amendment to the new Nationality Law at an unprecedented speed. According to this new law, the state will no longer enforce the provisions of Article 3 of the original Nationality Law that do not recognize that Chinese citizens have dual nationality, clearing obstacles for overseas Chinese to have dual nationality.
Based on this new bill, China has made a solemn statement to the countries in the South China Sea:
1. The local government is required to punish the murderers who killed overseas Chinese; 2. The Philippine government must pay the victims' families for the victims; 3. The overseas Chinese who are injured in various violent incidents must be properly treated by the local government and provide disability subsidies; 4. The property losses suffered by local overseas Chinese must be compensated in full; 5. The local government treats overseas Chinese who are accredited to the country equally, enjoys the same rights of local people, and does not discriminate.
If the above reasonable requirements do not receive a strong response and practical guarantee measures, China reserves the right to take all measures to protect the legal rights of Chinese and overseas Chinese.
