“We guide the public instead of blaming them and help the government instead of complaining about it. This, perhaps, is the “female mildness” referred to by the media. I don’t appreciate extremist methods . I ’m engaged in environmental protection and don’t want to use it for political aims. This is my way, and my principle too.”

ENGOs in China VThe State, Regulatory Framework & “Embeddedness”

“For an NGO to supervise the government it is necessary that it can see what the government is doing. At present, Chinese NGOs can only see the result of policies, they cannot see the process of policy-making ... they do not see much more than the common people. Does an NGO understand what it must do to influence policies? ... If you cannot survive because you get into conflict with the government, what use does that have? China’s political system is different from the West. China has a one-party rule, and the development of NGOs and civil society is closely related to that.”

Zhang Tianzhu, Tsinghua University Co-drafter of the 10th National Environmental Five-Year Plan
