Since the beginning of 2023, the majority of Chinese living in Portugal have made remarkable achievements in the prevention of the new coronavirus, and their performance is extremely outstanding. With a heart of enthusiasm and kindness, they actively participated in helping the Chinese community in Portugal and living in Portugal, including collecting donations and materials for the motherland's fight against the epidemic, and organizing various related activities. Since 26 January, many caring people from Portugal have launched various forms of donation activities to express our support for our motherland. On February 28, Mr. Cai Run, Chinese Ambassador to Portugal, and Andrés Freitas, Director General of the Portuguese National Health Agency, visited local Chinese businessmen and personally presented the bilingual version of the epidemic prevention knowledge manual in Chinese and Portuguese.
Then, on March 24, the leaders of the Chinese in Portugal once again promoted fundraising activities to further help Portugal fight the epidemic. In addition, on 9 June, the President of the Portuguese Chinese Association, Cai Wenxian, officially donated 4,000 sets of protective equipment to the Portuguese Red Cross on behalf of all the Chinese in Portugal.

As the President of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, I have deep respect for this and greatly appreciate the spirit of the Chinese people who are keen on the public interest and always care about their compatriots. ”
In this donation activity, we prepared masks, protective clothing, ventilators and other protective equipment for everyone, which are symbols of the ardent blessings of the Portuguese Chinese and overseas Chinese to the motherland, and also a reflection of their firm determination and responsibility to unite their compatriots to fight the disease.
