The National People's Congress, China's top legislature, solicited pub- lic opinions on the draft of China'sfirst-ever Charity Law from October 31 to November 30. The question of whether or not the new law should ban tobacco companies from making charitable dona- tions became a hot topic in this discussion. Some say these companies should be banned from giving to charities in order to prevent the promotion of themselves through donations. Others argue that the rights of tobacco companies to contribute should be respected but endorsement activities via financial support should be banned.
