China passes law tightening controls on foreign NPOs

You know, as bad as it seems Japan and the U.S. is getting with "security" legislatures, China takes the cake by far. I would never want to live there. And although there is a large consumer base, I just can't see why companies would move into China, the risks seem way too large.

More police security bill

Look! I found someone writing headlines who does not know the difference between an NPO and an NGO!

Rare as hen's teeth among the liberal mainstream media these days.

But truly, let me be the first to say that, in my experience, NGOs are usually created to advance an agenda, push a religion, agitate for some political goal, etc. They can be extremely obnoxious and they love to insert themselves in situations where a government is weakened by some event such as a natural disaster. Once they get their foot in the door, they push hard.

Don't know what I am talking about? Nepal and Haiti have been virtually taken apart by the numbers and influence of NGOs that went to those countries and took over all the social programs and all the hotel rooms. They set up shop and virtually supplant government functions, fail at them, and blame the government. That perpetuates the panic, which lets the NGOs ask for more donations and bigger budgets. They never leave. In Nepal, they actually agitated AGAINST all customs and other inspections after the great quake there. That allowed a lot of foreigners to loot some antiquities. Yippee. In Haiti, the scam is real estate development. Land gets donated, then it gets reappropriated and sold to rich locals for tourist developments. The shanties of the poor get bulldozed.

In Tohoku after 3 11, local governments asked NGOs to leave after a couple of months. They were very blunt. The NGOs were not helping, blaming their lack of spending on the Japanese and just pocketing the donations for "administrative costs." The NGOs that persisted were mainly Christian groups, anti-nuclear agitators, and various rights groups. Do they care more about the people of Tohoku, or about their donation base? Are you kidding? So we get incessant reports of "Fukushima kids with cancer" and "ghost towns of Fukushima" and other nonsense. The longer the fear mongering blogs keep it up, the more the NGOs cash in.

China is pushing back, and they are not being polite about it. They have enough homegrown agitators and rabble rousers. They don't need foreign funded busybodies telling them how to take care of their people. If the Chinese are willing to take 100% responsibility and meet all contingencies, more power to them.
