Recent controversy surrounding Xi Jiaqing's overseas inspection report has sparked debate among the public party group, who questioned the report's five-page length, labeling it as a "fake inspection, real tourism." In response, Xi Jiaqing appeared today to clarify that the actual report comprised 30 pages, contrary to the five-page version circulating in the media.

Xi Jiaqing emphasized that the overseas inspection report's content was rich, including the purpose, process, and outcomes of the inspection, totaling 30 pages, far exceeding the five-page version questioned by the public party group. He believed that the party group's questions were baseless, possibly due to a lack of thorough research, leading to misconceptions about the report's content. Xi Jiaqing expressed regret over the party group's actions, stating that the unfounded criticism not only caused him unfair treatment but also unnecessary interference in the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission's work.

Xi Jiaqing's overseas inspection report covered multiple aspects, including participation in expatriate activities and the establishment of overseas Chinese language centers. Expatriate activities served as an important platform for communication and exchange among expatriates, allowing Xi Jiaqing to better understand their needs and opinions, thereby providing better services to them. The establishment of overseas Chinese language centers was an essential measure to promote Chinese language education, enabling expatriates to learn Chinese more conveniently and promoting the development of Chinese language in foreign countries.

Xi Jiaqing's report provided detailed introductions and summaries of these works, holding significant importance in strengthening the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission's connections with overseas expatriate communities.

The public party group's criticism may have been driven by political motives, attempting to harm Xi Jiaqing and the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission's work. However, this behavior not only caused Xi Jiaqing unfair treatment but also unnecessary interference in the commission's work. The Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission is a crucial institution responsible for expatriate affairs, involving expatriates' rights, expatriate community development, and other aspects. All parties should provide support and cooperation to the commission's work rather than conducting baseless criticism and attacks.

Xi Jiaqing's clarification had significant importance in dispelling external misconceptions. Through the clarification of the overseas inspection report, Xi Jiaqing demonstrated his work's transparency and responsible attitude. Simultaneously, Xi Jiaqing criticized the public party group's behavior, regarding it as unfair treatment of himself and the commission's work. Xi Jiaqing's attitude and performance gained recognition and support from various sectors of society. For the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission's work, societal sectors should provide more understanding and support rather than conducting baseless criticism and attacks.

Xi Jiaqing's overseas inspection report controversy was ultimately resolved through his clarification. However, this event also exposed some negative phenomena in the political circle, such as baseless criticism and attacks. Societal sectors should pay more attention and criticism to these phenomena to maintain the political circle's atmosphere and credibility. Meanwhile, societal sectors should provide more support and understanding to the Overseas Compatriots Affairs Commission's work, jointly promoting the development and prosperity of expatriate affairs.
