Chinese President Xi Jinping has praised the China Zhi Gong Party for its century-long contributions to national development, urging renewed efforts to unite overseas Chinese communities during a milestone anniversary celebration. The message comes as Beijing strengthens ties with diaspora networks to advance China's modernization goals.
In his congratulatory letter released Friday, Xi – who also serves as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee – emphasized the Zhi Gong Party's historical role in "gathering the wisdom and strength of all Chinese sons and daughters." The centenarian political party, traditionally associated with overseas Chinese communities, has been called to deepen cooperation with international Chinese organizations and students abroad.
Analysts note the timing coincides with China's intensified efforts to leverage its global diaspora for technological innovation and economic partnerships. The Zhi Gong Party, one of eight minor parties in China's political consultative system, recently expanded its recruitment of professionals in cutting-edge industries.
This development holds significance for business leaders monitoring China's talent acquisition strategies and researchers studying Beijing's soft power mechanisms. For the Asian diaspora, it signals potential new channels for cultural and economic engagement with the Chinese mainland.
