Our Society, CUHKCAS, was founded in 1990 with an aim to broaden understanding of students at Cambridge and beyond the social, political and economic affairs that have arisen, in the past and present, in Hong Kong and China. We have continued this mission 19 years on and currently we have over 1,000 life members, of which over a few hundred remain active as students at Cambridge.

2009 is a special year as it marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 25th anniversary of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Incident. It is therefore important for us to reflect on the social and political issues that have arisen in the past but also to look ahead into the future. It is, in our belief, of utmost importance to maintain members' awareness of the most topical current affairs that affect all of us, but also to promote the understanding of members and non-members alike the values that we must endure and the high hopes that we carry for Hong Kong and China. The fact is - we can make a difference!

We, as a committee, are open to suggestions so please do not hesitate to contact us. I do hope you will find the materials on this newly designed website helpful.

James KS Wong, President of CUHKCAS (2009-10)
