The All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (AFROC) on Tuesday launched an app to serve Chinese residing abroad.
The app will serve as an online information exchange and service platform, linking overseas Chinese federations with individual overseas Chinese, said Lin Jun, president of AFROC.
Through the app, overseas Chinese can quickly learn about policies of the Communist Party of China and Chinese government as well as seek business opportunities, said Lin.
It will also deliver important information to Chinese students studying abroad and newly emigrated Chinese so they can adapt to their new environment.
The app also has the ability to gather public opinions from overseas Chinese by allowing them to voice their suggestions on China's economic development and social reform, Lin said.
