The organizations listed are not government departments but have ambiguous names that could potentially mislead people. They can finally be identified thanks to numerous messages sent to the official website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The bureau has requested that members of the public inform the police if there is evidence that any of the listed organizations are still operating.
It is also calling for people to continue to provide information about the activities of suspected illegal social organizations through the Government Service Platform of Chinese Social Organizations (https://chinanpo.mca.gov.cn), or via the platform’s official WeChat account (chinanpogov).
Using the above platform, people can also verify social organizations’ registration information.
