We have added four more foreign NGOs to our running list of de-registered organizations. According to information on the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) website, Colleges and Institutes Canada, South Korea Shipbuilders’ Equipment Association, Miyazaki Local Products and Trade Promotion Center (Japan), and the Beijing office of International Plant Nutrition Institute (Canada) all de-registered in the last three months of 2019.
Notably, at some point in the past year, the MPS began to delete detailed information about all de-registered organizations, leaving only the organization name, registration date, and de-registration date up on the website. This means that the information cited in our list of de-registered organizations comes from our own database, compiled from earlier versions of MPS data.
