Chinese community associations
Chinese community associations are organizations that serve to unite and support members of the Chinese diaspora. They often provide cultural, social, and sometimes legal assistance, preserve Chinese traditions, and promote community welfare. These associations may organize events like festivals, language classes, and charitable activities, helping members maintain cultural identity and connect with others. They also often act as a bridge between local communities and Chinese heritage, fostering mutual understanding and support among members and broader society. Such associations vary in scope and focus but generally aim to strengthen community bonds and cultural preservation.
