Please join us for the launch of the Second Edition of the Charitarian magazine. Vice-Mayor Wang Liwei, Editor of the Charitarian, will speak on “What is the role of foreign companies and NGO’s in China in 2010?” To hear the latest news from Mr. Wang, after his attendance at the Ministry of Civil Affairs meeting held in Beijing last week and the Asia Media Conference, join us at Today Art Museum on Thursday evening. He will provide an up to the minute report on the role foreign companies and international NGO’s are expected to play in China’s development in the next five years. As China grows in global stature the Government are committed to reducing the domestic wealth gap through the development of charitable foundations and social enterprises. Wang Liwei will outline the legal infrastructure and incentive schemes that will underpin this process.

This will be a fairly intimate gathering with a background of inspiring modern art. Hot food and drink will be provided and we encourage you to stay behind and chat informally with Wang Liwei; he will feedback your views to central government to contribute to the development of sustainable international business and domestic civil society in China.

A hot buffet and drinks will be served in the hope that you can stay to enjoy the art and chat with the diverse crowd that this event often attracts.

China-UK Third Sector Synergies, Visit by Wang Li Wei to the UK

On January 18, 2010, In Government Social Responsibility, Personal Social Responsibility, By Charitarian

22 September – 10 October 2009

The third sector in China is changing. Six years ago you were not allowed to run charities and NGO’s in China because ‘officially’ there was not disparity between rich and poor. The position in 2010 is very different. Conscious of the growing wealth gap, the Government is now positively trying to cultivate a third sector economy (Government, grassroots and foreign NGO’s). The sector is embryonic but the legal and training infrastructure is being created to encourage its development. Wang Liwei (Vice-Mayor Guan County, Shandong and Editor Charitarian magazine) and Clare Pearson (CSR Manager at DLA Piper, Asia) visited the UK for three weeks to observe how the British Government perceive the third sector as a complement rather than competition to their services.
