China Writers Association

It was founded in July 1949 as the China National Literature Workers Association. In September 1953, it was renamed the Chinese Writers Association. In April 2012, the organization changed its translated name to China Writers Association. In 2015, the CWA established its Internet Literature Committee for members who are writers, critics, or scholars of internet literature. In 2017, two vice presidents of the Suzhou branch of the CWA publicly resigned as a protest to what they perceived as the Chinese Communist Party's tightening of control on writers. == Publications ==
