Xi offers support to overseas Chinese

"Xi's words allow overseas-based Chinese like me see new opportunities to serve our homeland," said Gu Xuewu, a professor at the University of Bonn in Germany.

Gu said that Xi's speech provided a new option for foreign-based Chinese who prefer to live abroad rather than return to China.

"Take me, for example. I have stayed in Germany for so many years that I might have difficulty integrating into the new environment if I return. So it is worthwhile studying how to establish a mechanism for people like me to do something for our homeland," Gu said.
