What is Young China Circle?

Young China Circle is a platform for students and young professionals to discuss current developments surrounding China. YCC offers its members a voice to share their expertise and experience through interactive discussions and workshops.

In 2019, in partnership with Krijger & Partners and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China Circle organized the China College Tour. Those sessions shed light on the disconnect between the awareness of students on Chinese affairs and the lack of a platform to share it. In order to fill this gap, YCC was formed.
