Liao Jianxun, deputy director of the "Los Angeles Overseas Chinese Cultural and Educational Service Center" of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission of the Republic of China (Taiwan), visited Phoenix twice in half a month. If you include Ambassador Gao Shuotai, the representative in the United States, and Xia Chang, director of the Los Angeles Office, etc. The diplomat was invited to attend the home court of the Arizona Diamondbacks of the Major League Baseball League and served as the kickoff guest for the first week of this year's baseball season against Los Angeles. He also witnessed the Alberta Senate passing the Taiwan Friendship Resolution. With many years of experience as a reporter, it is obvious that the Taiwanese government of the Republic of China is paying more and more attention to Arizona. This should be a blessing for the expats living here. During his second visit to Phoenix, Deputy Director Liao Jianxun still received a warm welcome and felt that the Chinese and overseas Chinese communities here are very active. He strongly believes that the government here is very supportive of us Chinese and very friendly to Taiwan, the Republic of China. He said, "The passage of the friendship-Taiwan resolution by the state Senate shows that the Chinese community and Taiwanese expatriates have worked hard for a long time to achieve such results. Everyone has really contributed to national diplomacy." Deputy Director Liao Jianxun was first dispatched to Los Angeles for two months. When he first arrived in Phoenix at the end of March, he participated in the ancestor worship and spring banquet of the "Fei Nie Huang Clan Association"; met with the president of the "Taiwan Association"; hosted a discussion with honorary personnel of overseas Chinese affairs, and had discussions with traditional overseas Chinese societies The heads of the overseas Chinese groups under the "Overseas Chinese Federation" discussed the meal. Everyone was deeply impressed by the young deputy director of the Overseas Chinese Committee. In order to serve the overseas Chinese here, he spoke Taiwanese, Chinese, English and Cantonese fluently. He worked non-stop for two days, which left a deep impression and established a friendship. April 8th and 9th was Deputy Director Liao Jianxun’s second visit. This time, he attended the opening ceremony of the Shengqiang Villa and the Spring Festival Gala of the "Phoenix City Branch of American Hesheng Church". Representatives from the San Francisco Main Church, Luozhou, Bolan, Shelu, Meiliyun, and Dianhua branches, as well as leaders and elders of the overseas Chinese community, came from thousands of miles to attend. The flag of the Republic of China was flying inside and outside the branch and at the Spring Festival banquet venue, which made the participants feel very touched. Phoenix City Overseas Chinese Affairs Advisory Committee member Gao Zhizhong said that Deputy Director Liao's two visits in such a short period of time contributed to the unity that has been rare in the overseas Chinese community for more than 30 years. It is really rare for overseas Chinese, regardless of political party, to reunite together to welcome officials of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council. Regarding the opening ribbon-cutting and banquet of Hop Sing Hall, San Francisco Secretary General Chen Longzan and Chairman Kuang Zhenguochun, as well as "Hop Sing Hall" Prime Minister Huang Bingheng, Yu Wenjin, Overseas Chinese Affairs Advisory Committee and others delivered speeches. They all said that "Hop Sing Hall" has supported the Republic of China for more than 100 years and promoted the concepts of democracy and freedom. This is really an affirmation of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council's good service to all overseas Chinese over the years. In just half a month, he visited Phoenix City twice and participated in overseas Chinese community activities non-stop. Deputy Director Liao Jianxun confirmed with actions that the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission attaches great importance to overseas Chinese. Regarding some people’s accusations against the Government of the Republic of China (Taiwan) here, Deputy Director Liao said that of course we have our own sovereignty and must defend it. I hope everyone will work hard and be more dedicated to benefiting the overseas Chinese
