• Is GCC a political organization?
  

    GCC is an entirely non-partisan organization. We do not advocate for one government or political group over another. Rather, we cultivate relationships and seek understanding beyond political issues.  Moreover, we are not working towards a homogenous “global” culture. We are proud of our differences, and we respect them.

• Is GCC a China-based or international organization?

    GCC is very much an international organization. The network was originally founded and developed in the United States, though we enjoy very fruitful partnerships with Chinese institutions and run many of our activities in the PRC. GCC University Chapters are located in the U.S., Canada, France, the U.K., Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand.

• If I sign up, will you find a job/internship for me?

    We are the platform for our members to build their own connections. We are not the connections. Members do not simply sign up and start receiving job offers and other opportunities. However, those who actively contribute to GCC will have increasing opportunities to work, study, and travel abroad through our programs.

• Is GCC for students or professionals?

    Although our network does and will continue to extend beyond the realm of students, being a student-run organization is an aspect of our identity that defines what we do and how we do it.  All official Members must be students.

• Is there a membership fee?

    Of course not! GCC does not charge a membership fee.

• Do I have to speak Chinese (or be Chinese) to be involved?

    No.  We encourage Chinese speaking ability, but it’s not a requirement.  GCC has always been a very diverse group with associates coming from a wide range of racial, economic, and educational backgrounds.

• Does GCC have chapter in mainland China?

    GCC does not operate university chapters in mainland China. But we do oversee City Committees in many of China’s main metropolitan areas, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Guangzhou. These groups of local and international students organize activities throughout the year, and tend to be most active during the summer. GCC’s partner organizations, such as the All-China Youth Federation and the student government unions of Peking University and Tsinghua University, are instrumental to our programs in China.
