【新唐人2011年5月24日訊】國際金融機構「抗擊艾滋病、肺結核與瘧疾全球基金」（Global Fund to Fight AIDS， Tuberculosis and Malaria），已凍結支付總額數億美元的補助款給中國。因為中共政府在管理所得補助款方面引發爭議，而且對不受它直接管轄的草根維權組織保有敵意。
「全球基金」幾個星期前，凍結對中國提供的用於抗擊艾滋病、結核和瘧疾等疾病的數億美元。
美國《紐約時報》5月20號報導說，在去年11月間，「全球基金」已經悄悄決定，暫停從一項主要的艾滋病補助中撥款給中國。而這次的凍結，主要是對中共政府缺乏對撥款的監管，感到擔憂。
報導說，「全球基金」去年底對中共政府接受撥款的審計顯示，中共未能按照先前的承諾，將得到的2億8千3百萬美元撥款，提供35%給基層的非政府組織抗擊艾滋病。而據非政府組織“全球基金觀察”發佈的一份報告說，中國（共）政府向非政府組織提供的撥款，不足11%，基層社區組織被排除在享受捐助之外。
中共政府向來對任何不受直接管轄的草根公民社會團體，都非常戒備。旅美著名中國艾滋病活動人士萬延海說，“全球基金”在中國7年來，政府開始時不給民間錢，後來在向民間組織提供經費時，採取了收買策略，“聽話了，就給錢，不聽話，就滾蛋”。
《紐約時報》的報導中還提到，新疆一個艾滋病權益組織負責人常坤說，他們這個艾滋病權益組織2005年僅得到3千美元，但這筆錢也因組織被當局解散而退還。他說，“全球基金”撥款的一半以上經常被政府官員或官辦的“非政府組織”揣入口袋。
另外，河北省一個支持艾滋病人士團體的負責人申智奇表示，他支持「全球基金」凍結經費，因為他不想看到外界的善款落入貪腐的黑洞。
從2003年以來，中國已經收到“全球基金”的撥款5億3千9百萬美元，另外有2億9千5百萬美元還在等待劃撥，中國是繼埃塞俄比亞，印度和坦桑尼亞之後的第四大受援國。而中國對“全球基金”的捐款只有1600萬美元，美國的捐款額為55億美元，法國也給出了25億美金。
在此之前，美國《外交政策》雜誌19號發表一篇題為《中國的援助詭計》（China’s Aids Scam）文章，文章質疑中共在耗巨資舉辦北京奧運，和上海世博會的同時，向“全球基金”申請巨額援助，使世界上最貧窮的國家無法得到應有的援助份額。
據了解，這篇文章的作者傑克．周（Jack C. Chow）曾經在2001年至2003年期間，擔任美國抗擊全球艾滋病大使，是「全球基金」於2002年成立時美國的主要談判代表。

Global Fund Freezes Grant to CCP
The humanitarian organization,
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria,
has frozen a grant fund worth hundreds of millions of
dollars to China. The reason for the freeze is that
the organization is not comfortable with the way
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is managing
the funds, and its hostile attitude towards
non-government organizations (NGOs).
Several weeks ago, Global Fund froze
hundreds of millions of dollars in grant funds,
earmarked to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and
Malaria in China.
On May 20, the New York Times reported that
last November, Global Fund decided to stop
funding the war against AIDS in China.
This freeze was the result of Global Fund’s concern
for the way the CCP was managing the grant funds.
The report said that, according a Global Fund’s
audit of the CCP’s grant management team,
by the end of last year, the CCP earmarked
only 11 percent of the total grant money of
$283 million dollars to grassroots NGOs
fighting AIDS, instead of the agreed upon 35 percent.
The CCP always marginalizes any grass roots
NGOs, which are not directly under its control..
Wan Yanhai, China’s famous AIDS activist
residing in the United States, said,
“During the seven years following the Global Fund’s
presence in China, the CCP authorities,
in the beginning, simply refused, to give money
to NGOs. They later changed their strategy to
buying off NGOs, saying, “If you obey us,
you’ll get the money; if not, then forget about it!"
According to the New York Times, Chang Kun,
the head of an AIDS rights organization in
Xinjiang Province, said that their organization
received only 3,000 dollars in 2005, which was
later confiscated when the CCP authorities dissolved
their organization. He said that over half of the funds
from Global Fund lined the pockets
of government officials and state-run “NGOs.”
Also, Shen Zhiqi, the head of an AIDS support
organization in Hebei Province, expressed his
support for Global Fund’s decision to freeze the funds,
saying that he didn’t want to see foreign grant
monies fall into China’s black holes of corruption.
Since 2003, China has received $539 million dollars
from Global Fund, and there is an additional
$295 millions dollars waiting to be committed.
China is the fourth largest AIDS assisted country
after Ethiopia, India, and Tanzania. But so far,
China has only donated 16 million dollars to
Global Fund compared to the U.S.’s
55 million dollars and France’s 25 million dollars.
On May 19, the U.S. Foreign Policy Magazine
published the article, “China’s Aids Scam,”
which questioned the CCP’s allocation of large sums
of money from Global Fund during the expensive
Beijing Olympic and Shanghai World Expo,
which left fewer dollars available to
the world’s poorest countries.
The author of this article, Jack C. Chow, served as
U.S. ambassador on global HIV/AIDS from 2001
to 2003 and was the lead U.S. negotiator
of Global Fund in 2002,when it was founded.
