ABSTRACT
With the continuous deepening of China’s reform and opening up, non-profit organizations (NPOs) have been experiencing differentiated development, and certain types of NPOs have become actors involved in social strife, resulting in governmental regulation. From the perspective of triggering disturbances threatening public security, such NPOs involved in conflicts generally fall into four types, and differ from ordinary ones in the following features: purpose of activity, mode of operation, mobilization capability, resources absorption capacity and public influence. It is comprehensively found that China’s current administration system, legal system, overseas background and interested parties are the factors contributing to the establishment and development of such NPOs.
