China's New Nonprofit Regulations: Season of Instability - Blog
China's New Nonprofit Regulations: Season of Instability - Blog: "First, a review of some of the basics in regards to nonprofits in China (for more details, see our report on restrictions on AIDS NGOs in Asia or the HRW report, which I actually wrote also, on NGOs in China). China permits NGOs to register as nonprofits only with the sponsorship of a government agency. This gives the government agency control over the activities of the NGO, which is why many outside observers call these registered NGOs 'Government-organized NGOs' or GONGOs. Because of the restrictions, many small and independent NGOs in China use a legal loophole to register as commercial enterprises, meaning that they are required to pay taxes."
