Ambassador welcomes overseas Chinese 'home'

Envoy highlights positive developments in Sino-US ties at New Year celebrations

The Chinese embassy in the United States welcomed home overseas Chinese in a celebration of the upcoming Spring Festival, with optimism about the future.

With the theme of "Warmly Welcoming Spring — Celebrating the Chinese New Year", the reception on Monday, the first for overseas Chinese after the COVID-19 pandemic, opened with a performance that included children playing the guzheng in Battling the Typhoon, a musical rendition.

Students also sang Reed Flower, and there was a lion dance by the Chinatown Lion Dance troupe.
