Subject: Important Message for U.S. Citizens: Foreign NGO Management Law Goes into Effect January 1, 2017

On January 1, 2017, China’s Ministry of Public Security will begin implementing and enforcing the new Foreign NGO Management Law, imposing a new regulatory framework on all foreign NGOs regardless of their sphere of activity. The MPS has published NGO registration guidelines on its website, although some requirements and procedures remain unclear.  U.S. citizens employed by or associated with non-governmental organizations operating in China may face special scrutiny and/or penalties for non-compliance with the new law and regulations.

American Citizen Services units in the Embassy and constituent Consulates General maintain a list of legal service providers who may be able to help NGOs navigate these new requirements.  Consular officers cannot act as attorneys or advise on legal matters.
