On Government's Function In Charities

The charity is supported by the humanitarianism and the public welfare morals, and carried out by non-official organization. In a structural and charities well-developed society, the charitable organization truly with the government department, seeks to make a profit the department to constitute the tripod vertical society pattern. Each kind of charitable organization's functions in culture, education, health, elimination to be impoverished, the help weak community, protecting aspect, protecting interests of women and children, promoting employment, environmental protection and preventing crime cannot be substituted.Chinese charity development has been silent for 40 years due to political, economic and cultural reasons and restart after the period of opening and reform. After 10-year development, it has become charity organization with large scale, which plays a role in adjusting gap of wealth, transforming government function and promoting cultural construction. However, there exists gap between developed countries in systems that affect its quick development. Facing problems in system, it is requested that government department must have an achievement, but reviewing the history of Chinese charities develops, we may know Chinese government do much on charitable, such as appoints and dismisses, financial allocation, project verification and so on, but after detailed analysis, we may notice that governments have done too much on activity that with less relationships, meanwhile, did less on that should pay much attentions to, such as legal standard, tax revenue system, auditing system and so on.In terms of this, in order to promote the development of Chinese charity, Chinese government should obey the principle of "do and undo". "Do" means perfect system and clear barriers; "Undo" means government should recognize that charity organizations are un-official that government should not govern nor control. Government should change the relationship with charity organization from "control and being controlled" to "mutually cooperate". Only by this, can government promote its quick development and release burden of government. Thus, government can put more effort on making policies and other important issues.In my opinion, as long as the development of Chinese economics, society and moral standard and fulfillment of charity organizations, Chinese charity development is sure to develop quickly and do more contribution to modernization.
