What we’re about
The Boston China Interest Network (formerly known as Boston China Business Opportunities Network) is a group that promotes understanding and awareness of China's economy, business, and changing culture.
Since starting the group, we have expanded the purpose of this group to go beyond the realm of business. Some of our events will continue to be related to business in China, but most are social and conversational in nature - allowing both educational and personal development opportunities in a low stress setting.
We also have events that are more culturally or socially oriented, such as the weekly bilingual Mandarin-English chat group (currently meeting at Prudential Center), movie nights, and karoake outings.
For our weekly social conversations, we look for those who will return week after week after week, not merely those who will visit one time and engage that night's attendees (then never return again to continue building friendships).

BACK TO US:
In our event Jiaqi Li is the new, current, impressively competent weekly chat event host! Thank you.
Our events are
public, relatively frequent, and pretty open to persons of good will who demonstrate a real interest in any of the range of topics of our meetups and are NOT 'tire kickers' trying to attend events to look at a few of our attendees to see what they are like.
We strongly recommend that you use public transportation for your trip to Prudential. Our current meetup location is easily accessed from the Prudential stop on the D branch of the Green line.
