112 charities urge improving transparency, public trust - Home � Other Sections � Breaking News: EIJING (Xinhua) -- A total of 112 Chinese charitable organizations called for promoting transparency and public trust after a spate of scandals discredited the country's philanthropic groups last year.

The charities made the pledge on Sunday at an annual meeting on Chinese philanthropy, vowing to make further efforts to improve self-discipline within the sector.

In 2011, the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC), China's largest charity, was the focus of a major scandal involving a young woman calling herself "Guo Meimei." The woman claimed to be a general manager for "Red Cross Commerce," an organization that the RCSC claimed did not exist.
