Chinese Abstract: 中国公民对国家管理应对灾害和突发事件的做法比较满意。然而，他们越来越发现仅靠国家无法应对危机。2018年和2020年的中国公民参与调查显示，更多受过良好教育的公民认为政府在危机管理中起主导作用，但民间社会组织（CSO）有较大的空间补充协助应对危机。另外一个稍有分歧的观点是，与非志愿者相比，曾与民间社会组织深度合作的志愿者更怀疑民间社会组织履行危机管理职能的组织能力。这意味着中国共产党的政治合法性不会因为允许民间社会组织在危机管理中发挥更大的作用而受到挑战。

English Abstract:  Chinese citizens are relatively happy with the state’s management of national disasters and emergencies. However, they are increasingly concluding that the state alone cannot manage them. Leveraging the 2018 and 2020 Civic Participation in China Surveys, we find that more educated citizens conclude that the government have a leading role crisis management, but there is ample room for civil society organizations (CSOs) to act in a complementary fashion. On a slightly diverging path, volunteers who have meaningfully interacted with CSOs are more skeptical than non-volunteers about CSOs’ organizational ability to fulfill this crisis management function. These findings imply that the political legitimacy of the Communist Party of China is not challenged by allowing CSOs a greater role in crisis management.
