재외동포법과 재중한인의 법적 지위 = The Law on Overseas Koreans and Legal Status of the Koreans Living in China

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The most of the Koreans living in China is the descendants of the people who leaved homeland to do anti-Japanese movement or to keep away from the suppression and exploitation of Japanese. They―excluded from the category of compatriot with foreign nationality up to now―are going to be included in the category of compatriot with foreign nationality by the ‘Law on Overseas Koreans.’ Therefore they will acquire the same legal status with the Koreans living in U.S.A.
However, actually the amendment of the law alone could not be helpful for the real life of them. That is to say, the following management is necessary like these; amendment of the enforcement order and regulation of the law, security of the free traffic, measures for amnesty and legitimacy for whom are staying in Korea illegally. Finally, the most important thing is the diplomatic effort to permit the dual nationality.
