Chinese Press Club - A Bridge between the Mainstream and the Chinese Community

 

For too many years, many mainstream politicians and business leaders have found it difficult to outreach to the Chinese community. At the same time, the Chinese community is always behind in getting involved in all the mainstream politics. The Chinese Press Club will provide a platform for politicians, elected officials, corporation and business leaders from the mainstream to reachout the Chinese community through press reports by over 20 Chinese media outlets. It also provides a chance for the Chinese community to watch what the politicians and elected officials have done for them.

Our Club

 

In California, Asians are the second largest major racial or ethnic group in four counties of Sa Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda and San Mateo, and the majority of the population in eight cities of Monterey Park, which is 64%, followed by Cerritos, 61%, Walnut, 58%, Milpitas, 54%, Daly City, 54%, Rowland Height, 52%, San Gabriel, 50%, San Marino, 50%, Rosemead, 50%. Also, Asians in Alhambra is 47%, Arcadia, 47%, Diamond Bar, 45%, Temple City, 40%.

 

Based on the 2000 Census, California has a Chinese population of 1,122,187, which is 27% of the Asian population. In some elementary and high schools in Monterey Park, San Marino, Arcadia and Alhambra, Chinese students are over 50%.

 

To ignore the Chinese community will be a mistake. The best way to reachout to the Chinese community is through the Chinese news media. There are about 20 Chinese news media, which include newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations. Most of the Chinese news media are members of the Chinese Press Club. Through the report of the Chinese media, the views and voices of the mainstream will easily reach to most Chinese residents. 

Important Dates

We hold press luncheon bi-weekly to invite politicians, elected officials or business leaders from the mainstream to talk about important issues to the concern of the Chinese community. Those press events are by invitation only.
