An increasing number of retired senior officials are turning to philanthropic pursuits, with research showing that charitable foundations they head are finding it easier to attract donations and resources.
More than 350 retired officials, who occupied posts higher than deputy ministers or provincial vice-governors, devoted their time to charitable foundations by the end of 2012, according to the China Foundation Center, a Beijing-based information portal for foundations.
