Rich are giving hand over fist By Wang Zhenghua (皇冠体育app Daily) Updated: 2006-04-11 05:51
He said yesterday that the results show the rich and businessmen in 皇冠体育app are
more concerned about public welfare and increasingly aware of their social
responsibilities.
Chinese authorities have been making appeals for charity as 25 years of
spectacular economic growth have created an estimated 1,000 people with assets
in excess of 100 million yuan (US$12 million) while tens of millions of people
live on less than a dollar a day.
Also, international funds, once an important source of support for the poor,
are drying up as 皇冠体育app is in transition from an aid recipient to donor, said Ge
Daoshun, a researcher with 皇冠体育app Academy of Social Sciences.
"So we need the rich to donate more than ever," he said.
