Overseas Chinese,as a special group among the Chinese citizens but a little different from the residentsin Hong Kong,Macaoand Taiwan,have becomeoneof theimportant forcesin China's socialist modernization .The migration history of overseas Chinese lasted for a long time,but in resent years more and more new overseas Chinese go abroad or return to China . Their migrant activities have caused a series of legal problems,such as the problems ofidentifying their overseas Chinese status,their family members'residence,jobs,nationalities,household registers and soon .In order to solve these problems,theauthor suggests that the new Exit & Entry Law of People's Republic of China should concern about the present conditions of the overseas Chinese and it should make a clear definition on″overseas Chinese″. The Police Department should be in charge of issuing″Temporary Resident Permit″or″Resident Permit″to returning overseas Chinese,etc . This might help improve the present migration law of China as well as modify and perfect the rules or policies on″the right protection of overseas Chinese and their family members".
