62 overseas NGOs set up on mainland
Print Edition
A TOTAL of 62 overseas NGOs have registered with public security authorities and set up representative offices on the Chinese mainland after a new law regulating overseas NGOs took effect on January 1.
Among the 62 NGOs, which include those in fields such as economy, education and environmental protection, 27 are from the United States, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the US-China Business Council.
The other 35 come from 14 regions and countries, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Britain, Germany and Switzerland.
“With simplified procedures and less time spent, the registration went smoothly under the new law,” said Jacob Parker, vice president of China Operations of the US-China Business Council, an organization of American companies in business with China.
The new law, which was adopted last year, requires all overseas NGOs to secure approval from Chinese authorities before they operate on the mainland.
Besides the registered NGOs, more than 170 others are going through the registration procedure.
