About CHINA Inc
Chinese Heritage In North Australia (CHINA Inc) is a not for profit organization formed in 2005 by Kevin Wong Hoy, Kevin Rains and Sandi Robb with the generous assistance and support by parents, partners and friends. With the key focus to research, write and promote Chinese History and Heritage across north Australia, it was envisioned that CHINA Inc would host a regular small “no fuss” conference where the efforts of anyone who is interested in Chinese history and heritage could share their research in a welcoming, equal and affordable environment. Since 2006 CHINA Inc has hosted biennial “No Fuss” conferences. From humble beginnings, each conference has built upon the last, and we are proud to say CHINA Inc has grown into an active and vocal “Little Lion” of the north. CHINA Inc is committed to maintaining a “No Fuss” conference, where the costs are kept low, everyone is equal in the room, no matter what their background, and research experience is shared, acknowledged and enjoyed by all.
About Chung Wah Society Inc
The Chung Wah Society Inc (CWS) was formally established in 1946 through the amalgamation of the several Chinese organisations that existed in Darwin prior to World War II. The Society is a community-based, non-political organisation with approximately 300 members, the majority of whom reside in the Darwin area. The main aims of the Society are to promote harmony and goodwill between Chinese residents in the Northern Territory and people of other nationalities; promote the general, cultural educational and social interests and welfare of its members; and maintain the Chinese Temple as a place of worship.
