Ministry responds to queries about overseas organizations

China's law enforcement officials responded on Tuesday to questions about how overseas NGOs will operate in China once a new law takes effect in January.

At a briefing held by the Ministry of Public Security and Shanghai Public Security Bureau in Shanghai, the ministry said there will be no "transitional period" for overseas NGOs.

Overseas NGOs in China are expected to prepare for the new regime and authorities are working on ways to assist them, the ministry said.
