The Chinese Xiangqi (Chinese chess) Association has started their overseas
promotion campaign of the Chinese traditional intellectual game.
A promotional event themed "Xiangqi-Chinese wisdom at fingertips" was held at the U.N.headquarters in New York on Tuesday, according to CXA on Thursday.
"This would be the first stop of our international tour promoting the game,"
said GuoLiping, deputy general secretary of CXA.
The association also invited U.N. officals to the event, in which Xie Jun, former worldchampion on chess, gave a lecture comparing Xiangqi to chess.
