Abstract

China’s economic reform which began in late 1970s led to rapid growth of NGOs in China. The NGOs are growing because they are needed to fill the social space that both the government and business sector cannot or would not fill. NGOs offer many type of social services to the public and as they flourish, they become an indispensable component of the Chinese society. This paper reviews the roles of the NGOs in China’s recent development. Among the issues the paper focuses on are: the definitions and structure, the recent developments, the challenges, and the future roles of China’s NGOs. The paper concludes that the path towards to a civil society in China is rough.
