China has released its first blue book on the development of charity in the past five years.
The Beijing News carries a commentary saying that entrepreneurs' increased willingness to donate has played an important role in the development of charity.
As China has maintained a robust economy, more and more entrepreneurs have become wealthy. After they become successful in business, many assume the responsibility of returning money to society. They have set up non-profit organizations to better manage their funds.
The newspaper points out that charitable enterprises have shifted from government leadership to a society-based one. Some charity projects have been set up to provide long-term benefits for disadvantaged groups. Still, the writer argues wealthy businessmen could be much more generous.
In conclusion, the newspaper emphasizes that non-profit organizations and wealthy individuals should make greater contributions to the development of charity.
