China Daily Interview with OCN: "Reaching for their roots"
OCN is interviewed by China Daily, January 12th, 2009 (Page 10)
Chinese once called the US "The Gold Mountain" because of the economic opportunities it promised. Now the tide is turning, with waves of overseas Chinese returning to cash in on China's rapid economic development ... This influx prompted the 2006 founding of the Shanghai-based Overseas Chinese Network (OCN) ... The network's membership is now more than 900
"The first time I attended an OCN mixer, my first reaction was, 'Wow, I've just found people from the same planet as me'."
