1. To further the study of the postal history and stamps and matters related to China
2. To help members form collections on postal history and stamps

The society embraces all aspects of Chinese Philately from the Municipal Posts of Treaty Ports of the last century, through to the present day issues of the People's Republic and Taiwan.

Four times a year the Society aims to publish a magazine called The Journal of Chinese Philately, the cost of which is included in the annual subscription. The Journal is a medium through which members can publish articles on any facet of Chinese philately or write in with their queries or items of interest.

The society maintains a library and research facilities to assist members in furthering their philatelic studies.

Members are also able to buy and sell stamps and covers etc. through the Exchange Packet (circulated to UK residents only), and through the Postal Auctions which are held twice a year. A service is also available to members for new issues from the Peoples Republic, Taiwan and Macao.
