The Australian Academy of Science’s astronomical relationship with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) began in 1963 when Professor Chris Christiansen FAA visited China for the first time. He ultimately visited China more than a dozen times, and each time he shared valuable astronomical information, guidance and assistance to his Chinese colleagues.
