" Public concerned clause may ban individual fundraising
China's top legislative body passed the country's first Charity Law on Wednesday Authentic Atlanta Braves Jersey , but the public is still vehemently debating one of the bill's more controversial articles, which may ban individuals from launching fundraising activities.
Though the full content of the newly approved law has not yet been revealed, the law stipulates that ""charity groups and individuals without qualification are banned from raising money publicly.""
Some people, including Liao Huage, a delegate of National People's Congress, feel that the law is too strict on personal fundraising Authentic Arizona Diamondbacks Jersey , the flexibility of which is more suited to the needs of those with personal difficulties, despite its shortcomings.
Chu Ying, a professor with South China Normal University, told the China Youth Daily that despite the fact that individual fundraising is not in line with the direction of future development, it is still needed by today's Chinese society.
However, Wang Zhenyao Authentic Boston Red Sox Jersey , head of the China Philanthropy Research Institute under Beijing Normal University, said fundraising activities by individuals were ruled out in the Charity Law as they often lack transparency and proper means of supervision, and are therefore vulnerable to manipulation by fraud.
In August, 19-year-old Yang Cailan launched a personal fundraising campaign online, raising 96,576 yuan ($14 Authentic Chicago White Sox Jersey ,814) after fabricating a story that her father had gone missing following the deadly Tianjin blasts, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Wang Ming, a professor at Tsinghua University and a member of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference who participated in the drafting process, told the Global Times on Wednesday that the behavior of individuals raising money for the poor or the sick and who give money to beggars falls under the umbrella of ""help-seeking behavior,"" which is not subject to the newly approved law and, therefore Authentic Cincinnati Reds Jersey , is not illegal or banned.
The Charity Law stipulates that unqualified organizations or individuals can cooperate with qualified ones to raise funds, but unqualified fundraisers may face a fine of up to 200,000 yuan, according to Xinhua.
The vagueness of some terms of the law, such as the lack of a definition for ""qualified individual,"" has led to various legal interpretations Authentic Cleveland Indians Jersey , Liu Youping, deputy head at the China Charity and Donation Information Center, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
The Charity Law was passed with 2,636 votes in favor and 131 votes against the bill with 83 abstentions at the fourth session of the National People's Congress.
It was signed on Wednesday by Chinese President Xi Jinping and will come into effect in September.

A recent comment by U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter regarding the South China Sea has again prompted many to wonder if the self-proclaimed world "Anchor of Peace" is really so keen on quiet waters.
During his just-concluded first visit to Japan as U.S. defense chief, Carter said he was "especially concerned" about China's land reclamation efforts regarding the South China Sea.
The irresponsible remarks accusing China of creating a "prospect of militarization of these outposts" not only ignore the fact that the reclamation projects all involve islands belonging to China or its territorial waters, but also represent the latest breach of the U.S. commitment not to take sides on the South China Sea issue.
Washington has repeatedly violated its pledge to remain neutral regarding disputes on the South China Sea. Moreover Authentic Colorado Rockies Jersey , it has never missed an opportunity to talk about the "China threat" when it comes to the issue, and tries to pit other countries against China.
Such behavior is motivated by the U.S. assumption that China, now a global economic heavyweight, may seek to overturn U.S. supremacy in global politics and its overwhelming military presence in many regions.
However, the truth is that China has honored its commitment to peaceful development and never wants to compete for influence with other countries, including the United States.
But the United States Authentic Detroit Tigers Jersey , with its unrivaled political clout and military prowess, is still paranoid about China, perhaps because the superpower suffers from an underlying sense of insecurity.
Moreover, although it is geographically an outsider, the United States has become increasingly meddlesome where the South China Sea dispute is concerned.
Its obsession with China-bashing aside, the U.S. meddling in the South China Sea issue shows that the so-called "Anchor of Peace" is in fact stirring up the waters and fishing for trouble.
For Southeast Asian countries that have disputes with China on the South China Sea Authentic Houston Astros Jersey , they should be wary and recognize that the United States has ulterior motives for repeatedly diving its nose into the issue.
It is in the best interests of those parties involved in the South China Sea issue to find a peaceful solution on their own, instead of being dictated to by an outside power that could easily escape unscathed should the disputes escalate into conflicts.
