Suzhou Institute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics (SINANO) of Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) held a ceremony on the morning of October 10 celebrating the founding of its Association for Overseas Chinese. The founding committee is comprised of seventeen overseas Chinese working at SINANO.

Since its founding, SINANO has recruited and retained a group of overseas returnees, Chinese with foreign residency and green cards, who have made outstanding contributions to the institute as well as to local economy and society. The mission of the association is to bridge all the overseas Chinese and their families at the institute.
