The Federation as Civic Infrastructure
Our Story

Guided by the principle of uniting, serving, and empowering youth, AJCYF brings together Chinese youth from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and the global diaspora. It supports the positive, healthy, and well-ordered development of Chinese youth in Japan, helping them grow in study, employment, entrepreneurship, and social participation while integrating more effectively into local society and strengthening the cohesion of the wider Chinese community. The federation also expands cooperation with youth across Japanese society, promotes the transmission of Chinese culture in Japan, and deepens exchange and mutual learning between China and Japan in the fields of economy, culture, sports, education, and public welfare.

Responding to the needs of youth development and social progress, the federation continues to organize multi-level, cross-sector exchange programs, convening outstanding young talent from China and Japan. By building a high-level, regular platform for cooperation and connecting talent, technology, and projects, it strives to serve as an important bridge linking youth with government, enterprises, universities, and the international community, advancing the shared development and long-term prosperity of China-Japan youth cooperation.
