澳门归侨与中国和平统一大业

The Societies of Returnees in Macao and Their Contribution to the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification

地处中国南大门的澳门,因其独特的历史地理条件而成为一个多元文化的国际城市。20世纪六七十年代东南亚地区排华,使得大批华侨华人迁居澳门,此后仍有归侨陆续回流至此。现在,归侨和侨眷人口在澳门总人口中占有较大比重。随着澳门归侨人口的不断增加,出于维护自身正当权益的需要,先后有十多个归侨社团在澳门成立。近十年来,澳门归侨社团利用其独特优势,积极举办各种形式和多种主题的"反独促统"活动,加强海内外侨界的联系互动,为促进中华民族和平统一大业作出了很大贡献。

Since the anti-Chinese movement in Southeast Asian countries in the sixties and seventies of last century, a lot of overseas Chinese returned to Macao, and the relocation has persisted to this day. Today, the overseas returnees and their relatives constitute a significant part of Macao total population. With the increase of the popula- tion of the overseas returnees and their demand for the protection of their lawful rights and interests, a dozen of soci- eties have been founded. Since the end of last century, the societies of returnees in Macao have made full use of their distinct advantages in Taiwan affairs, carried out various activities to develop their good relations with Chinese overseas and at home, and done much work to promote the peaceful national reunification.
