I'll be speaking next week in New York City on the latest legislation for NGOs in China. Below is the official notice from the National Committee for U.S.-China Relations. I hope to see some of you there.
The
New Legal Landscape for NGOs in China: Opportunities and Challenges?
With Dr. Shawn Shieh on Monday, July 11 in New York City
In recent months, the Chinese authorities have
issued a Charity Law approximately ten years in the making, an Overseas
NGO Management Law, with a much shorter gestation, and most recently
drafts of regulations for the registration of foundations
and social service organizations. Please join us for a discussion
of the implications of these laws and regulations - how they open
up opportunities at the same time that they pose challenges, for both
foreign and domestic Chinese NGOs. Dr. Shawn Shieh, deputy director of
China Labour Bulletin (CLB) in Hong Kong,
will lead the discussion. From 2007 to 2014, Dr. Shieh lived in
Beijing where directed English-language operations for China Development
Brief (CDB), a bilingual, independent media and research platform
covering China’s civil society and philanthropy sector.
The meeting will be held at the National Committee office,
6 East 43rd Street (between Fifth and Madison), 24th Floor, from
4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, July 11.
Building security is quite strict, so we are required to submit a name
list in advance. Please RSVP by replying to events@ncuscr.org by
12:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 10.
This event is part of an ongoing series of discussions we have convened since the second draft of the International NGO Law was issued in spring 2015.
