Ein Bericht, der deutlich die äußerst ambivalente Rolle der UN für die Entwicklung in China zeigt: "Mass-Top-Down-Voluntarism" statt freie Registrierung für NGOs. Hier ein Auszug aus dem Vorwort: The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide.UNV began its operations in China in 1981 in support of the UN system. Under the administration of UNDP, it has been contributing to development results through volunteerism. Until today, over 250 international and national UN Volunteers have served in United Nations programmes in China and nearly 200 Chinese volunteers supported poverty alleviation, micro finance, environmental protection, cultural heritage protection, HIV and AIDS prevention, migration and NGO development.
