This article examines the evolving pattern of government–nonprofit relations in China and assesses how this relationship seems likely to evolve in the years ahead. To do so, it documents the diverse types of institutions this sector contains, the considerable scale of institutions it already includes, and the significant shifts that have occurred as the state seeks to take advantage of the important contributions the nonprofit sector is making, while seeking to retain a degree of control over nonprofit operations. Of particular note is the variety of tools the government has deployed to support the nonprofit sector and the remaining issues the sector faces as it finds its way in the highly constrained atmosphere of this biggest remaining socialist country.

В первом парагафе рассмотрены три периода генезиса идеологии прав человека:
- колониальный, когда ценности экспортировались в зависимые страны в целях разрушения традиционных обществ и моделирования «нового образа жизни»;
- конфронтационный, когда холодная война подпитывалась соревнованием капиталистической и социалистической идеологий;
- интервенциональный, когда вопреки тезису о линейном характере развития обществ развивающиеся страны показали опережающие темпы роста экономик.
