Sing Tao newspaper, the Chinese daily newspaper, will publish a series of special reports on the forthcoming May election.
Voter apathy and passing the political buck are traits commonly attributed to the Chinese, but many people from the community, some who have lived in the UK for 40 years or more commented, it is not apathy that deters them from voting but the lack of understanding and communication.
Many reportedly felt that the politicians did not understand and they in turn could not communicate their needs.
GetActive.UK.com has adapted the special reports by Sing Tao Newspaper on our websites to provide more information to the Chinese voters.
Get Active UK campaign 2008 is a collaboration between the BC Project, Confederation of Chinese Associations UK, the London Chinatown Chinese Association, Christine Lee and the CY (Chinese Youth) Radio Project to encourage active citizenship by the UK Chinese population.
