To help achieve these aims, FCAM has for the last 28 years organised celebrations of major Chinese festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and Chinese New Year. Our annual Chinese New Year celebration, usually held in Manchester’s Chinatown and Albert Square, has grown to become one of the largest in Europe and is regularly attended by over 100,000 people. FCAM also regularly hosts delegations of high-ranking officers from the government of the Peoples Republic of China and works closely with Manchester Council and the Consulate-General of the Peoples Republic of China in Manchester on issues affecting the Chinese community.
As well as our association members, we also have a large number of individual members, many of whom are successful business people actively engaged in cross border trade between the UK and China.
