BEIJING, Aug. 19 -- Top political advisor Jia Qinglin has called on overseas Chinese businessmen to play their unique roles in promoting China's peaceful reunification. Jia made the remarks on Wednesday in a meeting attended by representatives of the China Overseas Chinese Entrepreneur Association in Beijing. Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said that overseas compatriots in business circles had made great contributions to the country's opening up and modernization and rendered donations to the Beijing Olympic Games and regions affected by natural disasters.
