Nonprofits hurt by red tape and support gap |2013 NPC and CPPCC |chinadaily.com.cn: Capitalizing upon the momentum generated by the so-called third sector requires a streamlining of bureaucracy over nonprofits, particularly small grassroots organizations, and extensive partnerships with governments.

I have worked at a leadership level with two nonprofits devoted to the development of China's rural education. I find that only 440,000 of the roughly 3 million nonprofits in China had officially registered before 2011, as the China Charity and Donation Information Center reports. In other words, about 90 percent operate in gray areas, which often leaves them in functional limbo.
