Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission (Traditional Chinese:僑務委員會) is a cabinet-level commission of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Its main objetive is to serve as a cultural, education, economic, and informational exchanges organization between Taiwan and overseas Chinese. With the evolution of the political landscape and the Taiwanese localization movement, the organism now puts emphasis not only in Mandarin Chinese, but on Taiwanese, Hakka, and other Taiwanese cultural expressions. It offers information about aboriginal tribes in Taiwan, and its overseas offices may serve, in addition to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Offices.

The English name of the commission was changed from "Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission" to "Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission" in 2006 ostensibly under President Chen Shui-bian's de-sinicization policies. However, the Chinese name has remained the same.
