April 11, 2006, Beijing. As part of its continued programme for furthering the debate on philanthropy in China, Hurun Report held the Philanthropy Forum at Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management. The forum brought together an outstanding panel to debate ‘Individual and Corporate Philanthropy’, a particularly hot topic today given the significant rich-poor divide in China, with 250 Tsinghua students and journalists. Hurun Report also released the 2006 China Philanthropy List, a ranking of the one hundred most generous individuals, and the 2006 China Corporate Givers List, a ranking of the fifty most generous corporates.
The panel was mouth-watering, made up of the top two individual philanthropists in Mainland China, a senior representative of one of the biggest corporate givers, the head of Save the Children China, a renowned academic and the author of the China Philanthropy List.
