Abstract
The donor-recipient landscape is changing rapidly for Chinese civil society organizations (CSOs).1 After an era of mainly internationally-funded civil society building, the Chinese government has become a donor in its own right. It has started to provide funding for Chinese CSOs that are willing to align with government policies. Government procurement of public services has a short history (it started at the municipal level in 2000), which explains why it does not yet have a political and legal framework. Like many of China’s social and economic policies, local experimentation preceded national initiatives.
