Charity Activities Get Attention

2005/12/15

The Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs (CMCA) has kicked off a programme to develop the country's charitable activities during the next five years, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

The programme sets forth general requirements and major targets for the development of charitable activities from 2006 to 2010, and establishes guidelines on principles, basic policies and related measures for charitable organizations, such as instituting charity service networks across the country and establishing a set of legislation to ensure smooth charity operations.

Since China's reform and opening-up began in the 1970s, great improvements have been made in the country's charity undertakings.
