China's national lawmakers approved the charity law.

The new law, adopted at the annual legislative session and to take effect in September 2016, eases restrictions on fundraising and operations of charity groups, promises tax benefits for charitable activities, and tightens scrutiny on their internal management.

The law stipulates three forms of legal entities could  be registered as charities organization, giving approved charities more freedom in their operations.

Currently only a few charities are allowed to raise money.
