Explanation: | |||
1. This catalog and directory is drafted in accordance with articles 3, 11 and 34 of the "Law of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of Activities of Foreign Nongovernmental Organizations in the Mainland of China", to provide guidance to foreign non-governmental organizations [FNGOs] carrying out activities in mainland China. 2. FNGOs applying to establish representative offices within mainland China are to follow this catalog and directory to determine the professional supervisory unit [PSU] on the basis of their scope of operations, activity region, and their needs in carrying out activities; and after the professional supervisory unit has agreed, apply for registration with the provincial-level public security organ for the are where the representative office is to be established. 3. Where FNGOs establishment of representative offices involve more than one activity field, they should determine a PSU on the basis of their primary activity field and primary scope of operations, and the primary PSU may solicit the opinions of relevant department on the activities involved in other fields, and those relevant departments are to actively cooperate and jointly complete service and management work. 4. The public security organ of each provincial-level people's government is to summarize actual local conditions, and together with relevant departments, consult this catalog and directory, and research, draft and issue a "Catalog of Fields and Projects for FNGOs with Activities in China, and Directory of Professional Supervisory Units" for that area, to provide guidance to FNGOs carrying out activities in mainland China. 5. This catalog and directory is to be adjusted and modified at appropriate times on the basis of the actual situation and changes in FNGOs carrying out of activities within mainland China. |
- The MPS translation of the FNGO Law, refers to “overseas” NGOs rather than “foreign” NGOs (境外) (ONGOS rather than FNGOS), this is to clarify that Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan organizations are covered by the law. We find ‘overseas’ equally ambiguous, and continue to use foreign for consistency with our other translations, noting that this also includes these three regions
- The MPS translation of the FNGO Law, refers to “organizations in charge of operations” rather than “Professional Supervisory Units” [PSUs]. We have continued to use PSU, an accepted term of art in other laws, to avoid confusion. The MPS translation is hopefully misleading as to the scope of these units duties.
- The term 交流 “communications” as a permissible form of activity could be translated as “exchange“

The key terms, “overseas NGOs” (instead of “foreign NGOs”, because the former includes NGOs from Hong Kong etc.) and “organizations in charge of operations” (instead of “professional supervisory units”), are taken from the “official” English translation of the Law, as published on the MPS website:
http://www.mps.gov.cn/n2254314/n2254409/n4904353/c5548987/content.html
It is also worth considering using the term “areas” and “sub-areas” instead of “fields” and “sub-fields”, although this probably doesn’t matters as much.
Thanks, It is VERY useful to have the corresponding MPS English terms here for everyone’s reference. I would add that ‘communication’ could also be translated as ‘exchange’ throughout.
We have the MPS translation on our site as well, but have decided to stick with our original terminology in our own translations, for all the reasons that made us choose those terms in the first place.
“Fields” over “Areas” for example, to avoid confusion with geographic scopes also included in the law.
A comment on who’s *missing* among the “organizations in charge of operations”:
– four ministries: MFA, MND, MPS, MSS (the latter three rather obvious, but interesting that MFA is excluded)
– any and all CCP departments (in particular, the International Department and the Central Party School)
– any and all academic institutions (even those officially classified as “Institutions Directly under the State Council”, such as CAS, CASS, CAE, DRC and the Chinese Academy of Governance)
The only OCOs in this list that are *not* (officially) governmental departments:
– China Association for Science and Technology (CAST)
– China Disabled Persons’ Federation (CDPF)
– All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF)
– All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU)
