Suey Sing Association
The Suey Sing Association (Chinese: 萃勝工商會; Jyutping: Seoi6sing3 Gung1soeng1wui6) is a historical Chinese American association that was established in 1867. Formerly known as the Suey Sing Tong (Chinese: 萃勝堂), this was changed to its current name in 1920. In early 1994, the Suey Sing Association became the first organization in the Chinese community to fly the flag of the People's Republic of China. Currently there are more than 1000 members.[1]
