2012 was a year in which philanthropy in China broke boundaries, widened its horizons and started collaborating with a range of social resources to promote domestic social reform. The most striking feature of philanthropy in China during 2012 was the transformation of a web-based micro-blog social movement from initial concern with social assistance and social accountability toward citizen freedom of association and a search for social fairness.
In comparison with 2011, 2012 was characterized by a greater awareness of freedom and independent resolve among citizens, freedom of association and citizen autonomy as core elements in the cultivation and further development of a philanthropic society. The social ethos moved from prevalent criticism and complaint toward more self-motivated action. This provides fertile ground for the spontaneous and gradual formation of group public choice. Good policy tidings from meetings of the National People' s Congress and the National People' s Consultative Conference forecast 2013 as a year of burgeoning growth for different civil society groups and social organizations.
