Ministry of Public Security Appears to be Making New Organs Eligible to Sponsor Foreign NGOs

A comparison of the list of Professional Supervisory Units (PSUs) that have already sponsored foreign NGOs and the Ministry of Public Security’s (MPS’) list of eligible PSUs for 2017 shows that, as of June 1, two entities that were not on the eligible PSU list have, nevertheless, officially sponsored foreign NGOs: the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (sponsoring the China Kind Fund) and the State Administration for Grain (sponsoring the U.S. Grains Council, U.S. Soybean Export Council, and U.S. Wheat Associates). This suggests that the MPS is actively adding organizations to its list of eligible PSUs, as it has previously said it would do.
