A 1976 lecture notice about artists' impressions of China after their trip to the country organized by the SACU.

Speaking at the anniversary celebration, Wood told a room filled with both longtime members and newcomers: "Now China is not only an economic giant, but a political and cultural giant, too. It's essential for us to understand it better. That was the key motive of the farsighted founders of SACU, who foresaw the independent and prosperous China that could arise and make the future that we're now living in."
