The impressive in flux of international NGOs (INGOs), with their funds and programs, into China came as a result of its open and reform policy, economic development and social needs. It also represents the effort of promoting civil society in China by the international community. This article analyzes how the upsurge of NGOs worldwide impacts Chinese official NGO policy and the growth of China’s third sector. It also discusses the interactive influence between INGOs and the indigenous NGOs, and the INGOs’ limitation in China. It concludes that the INGOs have played a crucial role in the development of Chinese NGOs, especially grassroots NGOs. Nevertheless, the relationship between the two is unbalanced, reflecting the dependence of many grassroots NGOs’ on international assistance. Such a situation will bring negative impact on the long-term growth of NGOs in China.
