Overseas Chinese proud of nation's rapid development

Overseas Chinese people are happy to see the rapid development of their motherland and hope to make their own contributions to the prosperity of the country.

"We are backed by our motherland, and the close ties with our compatriots in China can never be undermined no matter how far we go," said Han Jun, head of an overseas Chinese organization based in Kenya.

"I have been working in the overseas Chinese community for more than 20 years. I will continue to convey the voice from China with other community leaders in Kenya and Africa, consolidate China-Africa relations, and keep a good image as a Chinese," Han said.
