RECENTLY the Communist Party has put
forward a raft of proposals aimed at preventing
perceived challenges to its monopoly of power.
On July 1st a national-security law was passed
that authorised “all measures necessary” to
protect the country from hostile elements.
Now a draft of China’s first law for regulating
foreign non-governmental organisations
(NGOs) is expected to pass in the coming weeks. The law is deemed necessary because of the
threats NGOs are presumed to pose.
