CHINA will further encourage philanthropy through a range of measures, including legal and institutional ones, since philanthropy in China is still in its initial stage, Vice Minister of Civil Affairs Dou Yupei said yesterday.
"The deadly disasters in recent years, such as the Wenchuan earthquake and Zhouqu mudslide, have propelled people to lend a helping hand and promoted philanthropy in China," he said.
But much needs to be done to further the development of philanthropy in the country, Dou said.
The ministry drafted the "Law on Charity" in 2006 and submitted it to the State Council in 2008, he said, and added that efforts should be made to cultivate a philanthropic atmosphere in which more people consider charity as part of their lifestyle.
Dou also said that charitable organizations should be encouraged and transparency in the use of donations was important.
