The next chapter is going to address the idea of ‘new philanthropy’, of how it has become a new form of philanthropy and in what way does it coordinate with the ongoing developing world. Notwithstanding this term is investigated in the global context with the assistance of the previous chapter. More specific examples of Chinese philanthropy businesses will be given in the last chapter, where there will be the combined analysis of recently modified authoritative guidelines and the works that Chinese leading philanthropists are doing, and indeed they are in the relationship of governed and governing with the authority. While the relationship is also changing from the government giving direct and explicit instructions, to a polycentric way of governance.
