26. The literature is confused about the correct English term for non-governmental organizations
    (NGOs) in China. What the Chinese call shehui tuantitranslates roughly into social
    associations. These non-governmental groups are also referred to as minjian tuanti, which
    means ‘people’s’ or ‘popular’ associations in English. The direct translation of non-
    governmental groups is Fei Zhengfu Zuzhi, which has not been used prevalently, because it
    connotes a grouping that may potentially be anti-government and thus a danger to the
    regime. Nonetheless, leaders of Chinese social associations, especially in the environmental
    area, frequently refer to themselves, in English, as NGOs.
