History

Perspective
In July 1937, the "Office for Overseas Chinese in Yan'an" was established, who on 5 September 1940 organized the first "Yan'an Overseas Chinese Congress". At the congress, the "Yan'an Overseas Chinese National Salvation Association" was created, which on 12 March 1946 changed its name to "Yan'an Overseas Chinese Association", and again in 1948 to "China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese from Liberated Areas".[4]
In June 1956, following a decree from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the "Preparatory Committee of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese" was created, and later on 12 October, the "All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese" was formed in Beijing.[4]
On 21 March 2018, the 19th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party 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.[6]
In February 2025, Philippine police arrested four Chinese nationals affiliated with ACFROC-associated organizations in the Philippines that made cash donations to Tarlac City and its police force.[7]
