Top political advisers have appealed for charity legislation to encourage and regulate charitable activities in the country.

Favourable tax policies for charitable deeds were specially emphasized.

The proposals were put forward during the ongoing plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, by the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang and a CPPCC member, Wang Keying.

According to statistics of non-Communist party's the central committee, China's charities depend on donations from overseas to a great extent.

For example, only about 20 per cent of the donations received by the China Charity Federation were from local organizations, with the rest coming from overseas."
