Chinese Xiangqi Association

The Chinese Xiangqi Association was founded in 1962 as a member of the All-China Sports Federation promoting Xiangqi, or Chinese chess, and is based in Beijing.[1] It is among the founding members of the Asian Xiangqi Federation, and since 1975 has been a member of the International Xiangqi Federation. In addition to organising and hosting Xiangqi tournaments, it is responsible for publishing approximately 95% of Xiangqi books and other publications on the subject in China.[2]
