NGOs get boost from Shenzhen register reforms

Procedures simplified in a pilot program

Wang Jinyun had waited nine years for the piece of paper that officially confirmed his organization's NGO status. That precious piece of paper also confirmed that Shenzhen's NGO registration reforms are working.

Wang, founder of Shenzhen-based Yangguangxia (Under the Sun), said his application, the fifth since 2003, was approved due to the reforms.
