On his first visit to the United States, President Xi
Jinping of China broached a variety of topics including cybercrime,
U.S.-China
relations, and NGOs.
At his first stop in Seattle, the Chinese President noted that foreign
organizations must comply with the law when carrying out activities. This comes
amidst the background of fears of crackdown on foreign non-governmental
organizations. Recently, more than 130 lawyers have been hauled in for
questioning, and there is an expectation that a law covering operation of
foreign charities and business associations will be passed this year. Drafts of
this law have elicited concern that references to “security” will give broad
discretion to the government. For more information see the full article here.
