We’ve just posted the latest information about all the foreign NGO temporary activities and representative office registrations that took place as of January 31, 2018.
Of note, registrations of representative offices were down somewhat in January—not since March 2017 have fewer offices been registered in a given month. This could be tied to a number of potential factors: foreign NGO staff on holiday in December and January, fewer foreign NGOs actively working to establish an office as a critical mass have already been registered, or less urgency on the part of registration authorities now that the first year has passed and more than 300 offices were registered.
In terms of temporary activities, Guangdong province surpassed Beijing as the site of the most temporary activities (86 and 80, respectively).
