About Us

Overseas Chinese Network (OCN) was founded in early 2006 to build a community focused on Overseas Chinese people living in Shanghai.

Our aim is to provide social and networking opportunities in order to promote the development of our community.

We focus on people matching both of the following points:
(1) Grew-up overseas*; and,
(2) Chinese background / heritage
*overseas = outside of Mainland China

Note: Besides this focus, anybody and everybody is welcome at our events.
All ages are welcome to join us
All occupations are welcome (professional, student, etc.)

Examples of the target audience include (but not limited to):

• xBCs (overseas-born Chinese), including both western-born (USA, Canada, Australia, etc.) and eastern-born (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thai, Japan, etc.)
• Anybody from Hong-Kong / Taiwan / Macau
• Chinese immigrated overseas
• People with mixed blood (with a Chinese descendent in their family tree)

Please add yourself to our newsletter mailing list or facebook group to be kept updated. We may not have the snazziest website, but we do have the best events. Over 1,000 members can't be wrong!
