'Spring' in the air for NGOs?

By Tang Yue and He Dan in Beijing | China Daily | Updated: 2013-04-17 13:26

A different attitude

Zheng has already felt the impact of the reforms. She received the application forms from the local civil affairs office in Beijing on March 15 and was told that Beijing Hongdandan can apply to register straightaway. The application will be submitted soon. "The attitude of many government staff has been different from the past. I felt flattered," she said.

While Zheng is hopeful, Xie Lihua has decided to adopt a policy of "wait and see". The former deputy editor-in-chief of China Women's News pays close attention to the lives of women in rural China, and established the Cultural Development Center for Rural Women in 2001. Its programs range from suicide prevention to the promotion of political participation.

The center has also tried to register as an NGO many times, but has always failed. The lack of NGO status has disqualified it from becoming involved in the government's purchasing program, receiving funds from overseas, and participating in a number of exhibitions and meetings.

"I have waited for so many years that my black hair has gone gray. Now people say the 'spring' is coming and I want to give it another try," said the 61-year-old.

"But I want to keep calm this time. I want to see whether they (the reforms) are only like drizzle that stops quickly, or like sustained rainfall that will really help to rehydrate the NGO field," she added.

Yang Tuan, a specialist in social policy at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, understands Xie's concerns, but said the reduction of intervention in social management affairs is definitely a step in the right direction.

"But reform will not be an easy task," she said. "I have noticed that 19 provinces have piloted direct registration, but still some local officials have approved registration applications by NGOs by guanxi (networking and contacts)."

Despite the name, many Chinese NGOs have historical links with both central and local governments and often employ former government workers.

In light of this fact, "the reforms should also include pushing these 'government-organized nongovernmental organizations' to become more transparent and efficient, while the employees of those organizations have a vested interest in keeping the old system in place", said Yang, who leads a panel of experts that advise the Red Cross Society of China.
