SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's law enforcers on Tuesday responded to questions about how overseas NGOs will operate in China once the new law on overseas NGOs takes effect in January 2017.
At a briefing held by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and Shanghai Public Security Bureau in Shanghai on Tuesday, the MPS said there will be no "transitional period" for overseas NGOs.
Overseas NGOS in China are expected to prepare for the new regime and authorities are working on ways to assist them, said the MPS.
The representative offices of overseas NGO can organize activities within registered regions, the MPS said.
Citing articles 10 and 13 of the law, the MPS stressed that overseas NGOs can establish one or more representative offices in China, and should disclose and register the areas where they will operate.
