In this sweeping coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the nonprofit sector in many countries is playing an active role in the national fight against the coronavirus. However, the Chinese nonprofit sector only plays a marginal role in the battle. This article, from a government–nonprofit relationship perspective, delves into the underlying factors shaping the Chinese nonprofit sector’s limited involvement in this pandemic crisis and the impacts of the crisis on the Chinese nonprofit sector. In particular, we argue that a strong and centralized political regime leaves little room for nonprofits’ involvement in emergency relief, resulting in a nonprofit sector that is vulnerable and marginalized. Nonprofits have to be smarter in coping with the government in the COVID-19 downturn. – Reproduced  aGovernment-nonprofit Relations, Chinese nonprofit sector, COVID-19925885  aAmerican Review of Public Administration  aNON PROFIT ORGANISATIONS  cAR  00102ddc40709391820aIIPAbIIPAd2021-07-27h50(6-7), Aug-Oct, 2020: p.784-789pAR125002r2021-07-27yAR
