The organization was formed in 2001. Early members of the CAAT are primarily professionals who are originally from People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Even though the majority of the CAAT member consists of Chinese professionals from PRC, however, we welcome people from every walks of life with like-minded individuals. Anyone who is from a Chinese blood family, a friend of Chinese family and Chinese friends and friends, speak as little as one word of Chinese language, i.e. Ni Hao (how are you?), interested in Chinese cultures or a plan of developing or expanding their business to China region, ARE ALL WELCOME to join CAAT. We hope this organization brings and shares everyone’s thoughts, insight, wisdom, ideas, creative thinking, and conspiracies while enjoying the company of fun and diverse individuals!!
