MISSING BY A MILE: THE FUNCTIONING OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN CHINA’S RULE OF LAW

The nascent and incipient character of modern Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in China has been attenuating in the recent past, with many of them showing signs of exotic maturity and with meritorious results. Nonetheless, a few paradigmatic wrongs trammel and deactivate the configuration of NGOs and their legal context, therefore occluding their ability to valiantly capture popular acquiescence. This paper intimates that, if NGOs in China can be reshaped and responsibilised to steer clear of the current prime constrains and contradictions, rule of law in China can be contingent on NGOs activities. The authors of the paper conclude that, a realigned and universalized Chinese NGOs context can be facilitative in inventing and purveying a definitive conceptual armoury for monitoring and evaluating the rule of law ubiquity in China.
