The University of Cambridge Hong Kong and China Affairs Society
Welcome to the official website of CUHKCAS! Founded in 1990, a time of groundbreaking reform and a turning point in Chinese history,
our society is for anyone interested in the social, political and economic developments in China and in the Hong Kong SAR. Here, we offer a selection of publications, discussions and
speaker events pertaining to Hong Kong and China affairs, targeted at (but not limited to) students in the University of Cambridge.
This year marks the centenary of the Xinhai Revolution, which brought an end to the Chinese dynastic era and ushered in the rise of a new China. Over these hundred
years China has continued to change drastically and faces new challenges quite unlike those encountered in the past. Twenty-one years from our society's establishment, CUHKCAS has likewise
changed in nature and in size: we have grown from a humble committee of three to a society of over a thousand life members, among which a few hundred remain active as students in Cambridge.
We have, however, held fast to the belief that we can make a difference and will continue building upon past successes to the utmost of our ability.
In the coming year we will be exploring the current and future issues that China is set to address, as well as the role played by Hong Kong under China's rapid
development. We hope that you will join us in the debate and dialogue that promise us another climactic year!
