Chinese Benevolent Association

The Chinese Benevolent Association is a community organization that supports Chinese residents and cultural heritage in a specific area. It provides social services, promotes unity among Chinese people, and fosters cultural preservation. Historically, such associations also served as a bridge between Chinese immigrants and local authorities, helping newcomers settle and navigate societal systems. They often organize events, offer assistance during emergencies, and advocate for the community's interests, contributing to social cohesion and cultural continuity among Chinese populations abroad.
