We have been leading for over four years the campaign to build a long overdue memorial to over 100,000 Chinese volunteers who assisted Britain and her allies in the Great War.
The Campaign has enjoyed the widest support of every section of the Britain's Chinese communities, and fundraising for the memorial reached its target (£250,000) incredibly within six weeks.
We are pleased to provide here a glimpse of the Memorial Huabiao – our strategic supplies. JSBS have excelled at every level, and produced something of great beauty and dignity. It will stand not only as of national importance, but undoubtedly is world class.
It may not be unusual to come across videos on Youtube which take you by surprise, but it is unusual to find videos that both entertain and give food for thought.
Many Worlds in One is a short documentary produced by Trent Emory from the USA. It explores China through it's many contrasts and contradictions. Non judgemental, it invites views to decide – though in truth raises as many questions as it answers. Recommended viewing, nonetheless.
The Chinese in Britain Forum pro-actively promotes the interests of Chinese communities within Britain. We also work to promote greater participation by the Chinese in Britain in the national life of our great county. We believe in a vibrant and active Chinese community that is engaged with and supported by wider British society.
The outcome of the forthcoming referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union will affect Britain in profound ways. We recognise the great importance of the decision that will be made on June 23rd, and urge members of the Chinese community to actively engage in the debate and to cast their vote on the day.
On behalf of the Chinese in Britain Forum I write this open letter of support and solidarity to the LGBTQ community in Britain following the hate inspired attack in Orlando.
We are mindful of the close proximities of Chinatowns and Gay Villages across the UK, from London, to Manchester, Newcastle to Glasgow, and how, over decades, we have lived harmoniously as close neighbours. Like so many others we are horrified by the news from Orlando. Such hatred is beyond comprehension, our outrage and sorrow beyond expression.
We will not pretend that we can fully understand your shock, your horror or your pain at this time. We feel but an echo of the grief you feel. We cannot totally understand, nor totally empathise with you – but we are totally with you.
Benevolence and humaneness. (ren 仁)‬.
Etiquette and propriety in one's behaviour. (li 褵)‬.
