This page addresses Columbia's amazing Chinese language program as well as resources for students from and/or interested in China, Chinese culture, or the Chinese language.

Chinese organisations

Disclaimer: Some of the organisations listed here may not be "Chinese", depending on which side of the diplomatic / political table you sit. In the interests of inclusion, they are provided, though neither WikiCU nor the author holds any position as to whether Taiwan is considered "Chinese" or not.

In general, student organisations are split up in two categories: one, clubs for students from China studying overseas, mostly graduate students, and two, clubs for students of Chinese descent, mostly undergraduates.

CUCSSA

They have been accused of being "an arm of the Chinese government" in the majority of content on their website are attacks on Falun Gong sourced from the Chinese government, and that up until last spring, their "Advisory Board" consisted solely of Chinese diplomats based at the Chinese Consulate and UN mission.
