“…Hence, registered NGOs have fostered self-censorship, focusing on obtaining government information and orderly participation [ 94 ]. They avoid actions that could be seen as challenging the government or threatening regime stability [ 95 ]. In addition, despite a corporatist regulatory system imposing strict registration and representational monopolies, Chinese ENGOs manage to function effectively due to self-regulation, international state pressure, and strong state-media relationships [ 96 ].…”

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are becoming increasingly significant stakeholders in global governance and business operations. However, measuring their efficiency is a challenging task due to their mission-driven nature. While previous research has proposed financial and non-financial indicators to measure NGO efficiency, none of them has compared the differences between environmental and social NGOs. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the program efficiency of NGOs in China and compare the differences between environmental and social NGOs. 12 indicators are employed and tested using data collected from the Chinese Research Data Services (CNRDS) platform. The study employs multiple regression analysis to examine the influential factors identified in the dataset. The findings demonstrated different influential factors of program efficiency among environmental and social NGOs. The results of the analysis provide valuable insights for NGO operators, policymakers, and researchers in the field of NGOs.

“…They may establish direct or indirect connections with the authoritarian system, formally or informally. For example, they may place retired civil servants on their directorial boards, engage in the process of building the CCP's organization or encourage their leaders to work in agencies connected with the government or its officials (Li & Wang, 2020). Political connections may help to increase the channels that NGOs have available for policy advocacy.…”

This study widely replicates the original studies by Zhan and Tang to verify the impact of political opportunities and the resources of organizations on policy advocacy, which uses a much larger sample of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) who engage with social work. The main findings of the present study are similar to those of the original studies. First, the study finds that the higher the level of government support, the more likely NGOs is to engage in policy advocacy. Second, the NGOs with stronger political connections are more active in policy advocacy. Third, the income of an organization also has a positive effect on policy advocacy. However, the number of full-time staff, location, and the level of registration of an organization does not have a significant effect on policy advocacy.The study increases the understanding of policy advocacy and the relations between the state and society in China.

“…Of course, their experiences cannot be generalised to all NGOs in China. Many less prestigious NGOs do not have the political clout these early organisations have cemented (Li and Wang 2020). Moreover, in the Xi Jinping era, repression and surveillance often have targeted younger generations of activists.…”
