Business China Youth Chapter (BCYC) was founded in 2010 by a voluntary group of youths. The chapter envisions to be the leading Singapore-based community that inspires youths to be China-savvy and facilitate their connections with China. Supported by Business China, BCYC has a vibrant calendar of activities which serve the needs of the BCYC community. BCYC provides a platform for a selected group of bilingual youths to interact with other like-minded peers from various institutions. In addition, closed-door sharing sessions with our prominent local business leaders and international high-profile speakers are also organised to facilitate trans-generational exchange and knowledge transfer. Mission Launched in November 2007, Business China’s mission is to nurture an inclusive bilingual and bicultural group of Singaporeans through extensive use of the Chinese language as the medium of communication, so as to sustain our multi-cultural heritage, and to develop a cultural and economic bridge linking the world and China. Vision Harnessing the support of the public sector and private enterprises, Business China aims to strengthen the ties between Singapore and China, so as to sustain and grow the global connectivity of Singapore through: • Becoming the leading bilingual and bi-cultural channel for closer collaboration with China. • Establishing a widespread appreciation and acceptance of Chinese language and culture, within the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural mosaic that is fundamental to the Singapore identity. • Nurturing young Singaporeans to develop deeper links with China, engaging it in all facets including economic, cultural and diplomatic spheres.
