Conservative Friends of the Chinese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Conservative Friends of the Chinese[1] is a membership organization that engages with the British Chinese community on UK - China relations. It is linked to the Conservative Party in the UK and actively campaigns for the Party in the British Chinese community.[2]

The group was launched by Boris Johnson in May 2013 to an audience of 200 from the community[3] and then followed by an event at No. 11 Downing Street with Chancellor George Osborne.[4] Since its formation, the group has organized events by UK Cabinet Ministers to engage the British Chinese community.[5]
