LSE SU China Development Society

A LSE Student Union society bridging perspectives and opportunities between China and the UK.

LSESU China Development Society (CDS) was founded in 2002, with a strong initiative to promote global understanding of China, predominantly economically, but also politically and socially. As the only LSE society that offers events designed to give comprehensive and in-depth analysis of current issues surrounding China, we have quickly established ourselves on the campus and rapidly built up our m

embership base to over 1000 members. After several years of organic growth, owing to the dedication of every management committee, we have evolved into a well respected organisation with a clear purpose to Bridge Perspectives and Opportunities. In the process, we have forged collaborative links with a multitude of well respected organisations including LSE Asia Research Centre, LSE Confucius Institute for Business, LSE Department of Economics, the 48 Group Club and the China Britain Business Council. At the society, our greatest emphasis has been placed on organising top quality public lectures, corporate presentations, large scale conferences and networking sessions in a committed drive to provide all our members with opportunities, experiences and insights that cannot be extracted from class rooms.
