The Dragon 100 takes place in August this year. A hundred participants from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the Mainland will meet here, share views and begin exploring their sense of identity as “Young Dragons.” These youth leaders then go to Xian where they will gather with prominent people and learn about cultural transformation in China in the process of seeking their roots.

The purpose that underlies these annual meetings is to provide exceptionally bright young ethnic Chinese from a wide range of backgrounds with a platform where they can examine the Chineseness that they all share, while developing their commitment to serve their individual communities. While doing so they create networks that will support them when they disperse once more to their own, adopted countries, where it is hoped they will be able to make significant contributions to society with a reinforced sense of identity.
