Work to continue on law covering NGOs

CHINA will continue to work on a law on international non-governmental organizations in the country and a cybersecurity law, according to a work report of the top legislature delivered yesterday.

The draft law on overseas NGOs was tabled to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for its second reading in April last year.

It aims to regulate overseas NGOs’ activities in China, protect their rights and interests, and promote exchanges and cooperation.

However, there were concerns it will restrict overseas NGOs’ activities in China, as some of them have set up branches and are active in the country.

Fu Ying, a spokeswoman for the annual session of the NPC, said on Friday that the law is not to restrict their lawful, helpful activities in China, but to provide a sound legal environment.

The NPC Standing Committee said in the work report that it will also work on a cybersecurity law which was reviewed by the top legislature for the first time in June last year.
