The Ministry of Civil Affairs announced management measures for the first time to provide unified regulations on the name management of social organizations. The "Measures" will come into effect on May 1.
Misleading words such as "first", "highest" and "national level" shall not be used in the business field in the name of a social organization, except for those with other meanings, says Pu Xiaolei. "In recent years, social organizations have successively named their offices and branches as "expert committees", causing confusion and risks to a certain extent," Pu says.
