中国队在2024年夏季奥运会上的出色表现,让许多海外华人对自己的中国根更感兴趣。这可能会使他们对中国带来的机遇更加着迷,尤其是国际货币基金组织已经预测中国2024年的经济增长为5%。此转变应会促使北京加大力度,有效地吸引海外华人参与中国的发展,毕竟北京视海外华人为连接中国与世界的重要桥梁。巧合的是,最高人民法院关于查明域外法的新举措可以帮助实现这一目标。Read more

The Olympics, Overseas Chinese, & Foreign Laws

China’s impressive performance during the 2024 Summer Olympics has heightened many overseas Chinese’s interest in their own Chinese roots. This will likely boost their fascination with opportunities emerging from China, whose economy the IMF predicts will grow 5% in 2024. Beijing should, therefore, be motivated to step up its efforts to effectively engage overseas Chinese, who have been perceived by Beijing as important bridges connecting China with the rest of the world. Coincidentally, the Supreme People’s Court’s new initiative regarding the ascertainment of foreign laws can help engage overseas Chinese effectively.Read more

In early July, a new Hong Kong law extended nearly 400 land leases in the formerly British-governed city for another 50 years, making the leases go beyond June 30, 2047—the critical date marking the potential expiry of the Beijing-approved governance system operating in the city since its handover to China in 1997. More leases are expected to be extended in the same manner. If the extension of these leases—which has broad implications—is handled well, Beijing will be able to significantly contribute to the prosperity and stability of not only Hong Kong, but also Asia.Read more
