In “China: Waging ‘Lawfare’ on NGOs”, Mathieu Duchâtel, Senior Policy Fellow and Deputy Director of the Asia and China Programme, argues that recent events such as the Arab Spring and the emergence of the Ukraine conflict have persuaded Beijing that the West is pursuing a strategy of “regime change” that will ultimately target the Chinese Communist Party.
The NGO law will allow the Ministry of Public Security to prohibit foreign NGOs from operating on Chinese soil if these organisations endanger China’s national security. The law does fill a legal vacuum that has made operating in China uncertain and unclear but it will involve new bureaucratic obligations and constrains, and considerably strengthen the scope for state supervision of foreign NGOs.
