Then a brief introduction of social enterprises will be provided with various definitions from distinct policy systems and nations, followed by a case study of how social enterprises in Guizhou work to help the government with the poverty alleviation issue by providing regulation and operation benchmarks for the local entities. In the last section of the paper, policy suggestions would be provided for the Chinese government on how to support the development of social enterprises in China so that they could help more poor residents and regions to their best way.
