- The New York Times reports: "China is moving closer this week to a new law that would strictly control thousands of foreign nongovernmental organizations in the country, state-run news agencies reported on Monday. Officials are expected to give rapid approval to what may be the final draft of the law, the reports said....The White House issued a statement in September saying there were concerns that the law would 'further narrow space for civil society in China.' American officials urged the Chinese government to drop or make drastic revisions to the legislation, as well as to other sweeping draft security laws that would limit or hobble foreign operations in China, including businesses."
