This frank discussion of government dominance and interference in China’s nonprofit, philanthropic sector does not say anything that has not been said before. What is interesting about this article is that it appears in the Communist Party’s mouthpiece, the People’s Daily, thereby illustrating that the systemic problem facing independent nonprofits and charities has now entered the mainstream. The article also refers to earlier news that the Charity Law has been included in the 2011 legislative plan and is currently under review at the State Council which is trying to speed up their review so the Law can be submitted to the NPC.
