Drainage of donation

It is open to question whether Red Cross Society of China will survive the current waves of suspicion and continue playing the role of one of the principal charity organizations. It is also not certain whether China Charity Federation is innocent and the allegations of mishandling corporate donations against it are, as it has claimed, groundless.

People cannot say either whether China Youth Development Foundation will escape a major damage to its image because of its murky affairs with a mysterious business entity that has been accused of serious dishonesty, if not outright fraud, in the name of philanthropy.

And we tend to believe that such scandals, embarrassing as they are, will do a great service to public welfare and Chinese charity at large, as well as to government authorities associated with philanthropic institutions.
