About Buckeyes in China

Our logo, three Buckeyes against the background of a map of Greater China, illustrates the fact that Buckeyes in China (BIC) is a network of Ohioans living, or working, in the three complementary regions of Greater China; Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In close association with Ohio State University Alumni Association clubs located in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the network is comprised of more than 1200 members. The OSU club in Shanghai is called the "Shanghai Buckeyes Club."

BIC is proud to be one of the largest (USA/state-specific) networks of its kind in Asia. While many BIC members are alumni of the Ohio State University, and the clubs are chartered by the Ohio State University Alumni Association (OSUAA), all Ohioans, from any walk of life, are encouraged to join the network and, when applicable, participate in activities, events and networking that serve all Ohioans in Shanghai, and throughout Greater China.

BIC’s mission is also one of support to Ohio companies, organizations or institutions in need of perspective about business, education, relocation or travel in Greater China. BIC members, with vast business, social or government experience and expertise in Greater China, can provide all Ohioans with on-the-ground insight and support critical to improving China business-entry, education- or work-relocation, or travel-planning.

The communications hub of the network is its website www.buckeyesinchina.com. Accessing the website provides members, Ohio companies, governments and media access to one another while providing a forum to promote its members, their expertise and achievements in Greater China.
