The China Writers Association (CWA) is a subordinate people's organization of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles (CFLAC).

Founded in July 1949, the organization was initially named 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.

It now has more than 9,000 registered members, with branch associations across the nation.[1] The first CWA Chair was Mao Dun, under the leadership of the then CFLAC Chairman Guo Moruo.[2] In 1985, Mao Dun was succeeded by Ba Jin. The incumbent chair is Tie Ning since 2006.[3] Other successive Associate Chairs include Ding Ling, Feng Xuefeng, Lao She, Ke Zhongping, Shao Quanlin and Liu Baiyu.[2]

History

It was founded in July 1949 as the China National Literature Workers Association. In September 1953, it was renamed the Chinese Writers Association.[2]

The association's leadership was purged shortly after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[4]

In April 2012, the organization changed its translated name to China Writers Association.[5]

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.[6]
