Mission & History

The Netherlands China Association, is active to share knowledge about China and connect networks.

The VNC is the oldest still active, China-related, association in the Netherlands. Founded in 1977 and still alive and relevant. We are independent and committed to cultural, business and educational endeavors in order to create better dialogue and cooperation between the Netherlands and China.

China is a major player in the world and we think it is important, then and now, to learn about each other and network.

Our members come from all over the Netherlands, sometimes have Chinese roots, are young and old, often professionally involved, but always interested in China in order to learn from each other, inspire each other and sometimes surprise!

To this end, we organize ongoing events and publish interesting articles in our periodical ChinaNU+.

We do so without profit, without political or religious affiliation and with purely unpaid volunteers as board and staff.

We have been doing this for more than 48 years.
