China Development Brief is a nonprofit established in 1996 and the longest-running independent platform covering nonprofits, NGOs and civil society in China. We publish and report in both Chinese and English, and have a very active readership among professionals working in civil society and academia. Our mission is to independently and objectively report on and promote civil society's development in China. By initiating discussion and debates on important issues concerning civil society and development, establishing a platform for information-sharing and networking for NGOs, and providing a space for NGOs to express their opinions, we empower Chinese NGOs and create an enabling environment for their development.
