History

In July 1937, the "Office for Overseas Chinese in Yan'an" was established, who on September 5, 1940 organized the first "Yan'an Overseas Chinese Congress". At the congress, the "Yan'an Overseas Chinese National Salvation Association" was created, which on March 12, 1946 changed its name to "Yan'an Overseas Chinese Association", and again in 1948 to "China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese from Liberated Areas".[1]

On July 8, 1950, the "Preparatory Committee of the Returned Overseas Chinese Association of the People's Republic of China" was formed in Beijing.

In June 1956, following a decree from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee of the Central People's Government, the "Preparatory Committee of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese" was created, and later on October 12, the "All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese" was formed in Beijing.[1]

On March 21, 2018, Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a plan on Deepening Reform of Party and State Institutions, stating that the responsibility of maintaining relations with overseas Chinese individuals and associations are to be transferred from the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to the ACFROC, having ACFROC bridging the party and the government with the many overseas Chinese and returned overseas Chinese.
