China - Legal restrictions on the activities of NGOs result in the closing down of labour centres

On 1 January 2017 the controversial Law on the Management of Foreign NGOs’ Activities within mainland China came into force. Foreign NGOs have to register and report to the Public Security. Unregistered foreign NGOs and their partners in China have to file for approval from the public security for all their activities and research inside China. Labour centres on migrant workers attached to the legal department in Wuhan University and Nanjing University were closed down as a result of the implementation of this law.
