【新唐人2011年12月9日訊】在中國紅十字會第九屆理事會第三次會議上，紅十字會官員承認，自今年6月以來遭遇了信任危機，受「郭美美事件」影響今年個人捐款大降。 學者指出，紅十字會本身聲譽不佳造成民眾對它的信任下滑，本身不檢討，卻把一切責任推到郭美美身上，非常不合適。

12月7號，在北京召開的中國紅十字會會議，公布了2011年度中國紅十字會財務收支情況。2011年，中國內地各級紅十字會共募集款物41.98億元人民幣，但總會募集10.49億元，與去年的30.12億元相比減少了19.63億元。

中國紅十字會總會常務副會長趙白鴿表示，今年個人捐款數額相對往年來說非常少。她認為可能是今年沒災沒難，一些小的局部災難涉及的人員面較小，另一個重要的原因就是6月20號以後的郭美美網路事件。

今年6月，微博認證為「中國紅十字會商業總經理」的郭美美，在網路上炫耀她用愛馬仕，開瑪莎拉蒂，紅十字會信譽因此一落千丈，網友發起拒絕向紅十字會捐款活動。據中民慈善信息中心統計，6到8月慈善組織接收的捐贈數額降幅達86%。

大陸政府研究部門劉先生：「郭美美事件肯定有關聯，就像我們本人有時也捐款，現在就是說如果要通過紅十字會，我們就考慮一下，是不是通過它﹖還是直接送到需要錢人的手中去。這就是大家對紅十字會的一個信任危機。」

劉先生表示，一個能夠公開和透明的財務狀況、能讓大家監督的紅十字會，信任危機可能就會少很多。

不過，大陸憲政學者陳永苗認為，中國紅十字會不去自我反省和自我淨化，把責任推給郭美美並不合適。

陳永苗：「中國紅十字會它公信力的急劇下降導致民間捐款特別減少，確實是跟郭美美事件是非常大的。趙白鴿一直把責任歸結為郭美美本人，實際上所有罪過應該是紅十字會本來造了，造成了以後，所有罪惡都是紅十字會積纍之後，然後經過郭美美事情引發出來。所以，罪過絕對不能算在郭美美身上，應該算在紅十字會本身身上。」

陳永苗表示，中國紅十字會聲譽不佳的另一個原因是，它已經像中國其他的官僚機構做法一樣。

陳永苗：「按道理來說，紅十字會的捐款都是自願的，但是他會轉化成一種強制性，從你的單位裡工資裡面扣除。然後你要是不捐給他，他就會採取各種制裁措施。它實際上是帶有一定強制力的掠奪機構，它不再是原來的紅十字會自願捐款、愛心捐款，而是有強盜行為的一個機構。」

而且，陳永苗懷疑中國紅十字會的合法性。

陳永苗：「在現有體制下，紅十字會是否符合國際紅十字會會員的資格，我覺得倒成問題。國際紅十字會應該審查，是否開除中國的紅十字會。」

外界評論認為，紅十字會個人捐款大降，是民眾對它產生信任危機的集中體現。

RSCS Announces Sharp Drop in Private Donations Since the “Guo Meimei Incident”

At the third meeting of the 9th Board Conference of the Red

Cross Society of China (RCSC),

its official admitted that the Guo Meimei incident in June

caused a credibility crisis for the RCSC, which resulted in a sharp decrease in private donations.

Scholars pointed out that the RCSC should reflect on its own

behavior to see where the bad reputation stems from, rather than placing all responsibility on Guo Meimei.

On Dec 7th, the Red Cross Society of China announced its

financial results at its Board Conference in Beijing.

In 2011, 4.198 billion Yuan was collected from all levels of

Red Cross agencies in China.

However, at the national level, RCSC only collected

1.049 billion yuan, which dropped by 1.963 billion from last year’s 3.012 billion yuan.

The executive vice president of the RCSC, Zhao Baige,

said that in 2011, the amount of private donations decreased sharply compared to previous years.

She attributed such a decrease to two reasons.

First, many of the disasters in 2011 took place locally and

didn』t involve highly populated areas.

Second, the “Guo Meimei incident” severely damaged the

reputation of the RCSC.

This June, the girl named Guo Meimei showed off her Hermes

bags and Maserati sports car online at her micro-blog page,

where her verified identity is the “Commercial General Manager"

for the “China Red Cross Chamber of Commerce.”

Subsequently, the RCSC suffered the sudden loss of its

reputation and was boycotted by Chinese netizens.

According to China Charity and Donation Information Center,

the amount of donations decreased by 86% from June to August.

(Mr. Liu, a governmental research agency employee in China):

”There’s no doubt that the “Guo Meimei incident” has affected public opinion.

For example, sometimes I also make personal donations.

But after the incident I have to ask myself whether I should

make donations through the Red Cross,

or directly send the money to those who need it.

So the RCSC has a credibility crisis with the public.”

Mr. Liu said that if the RCSC could announce its financial

operations to the public and place itself under public supervision,

its credibility crisis would no longer reach such an extreme.

At the same time, Chinese constitutional scholar

Chen Yongmiao commented that

it’s improper for the RCSC to dodge self-reflection or

self-cleanup by shifting all the responsibilities upon Guo Meimei.

Chen Yongmiao: ”Of course the sharp drop of private donations

due to the credibility crisis for the RCSC was induced by the “Guo Meimei incident.”

However, despite Zhao Baige’s claims that Guo Meimei

was the only irresponsible person,

it is rather the RCSC itself which has been doing all the

bad things for years.

The “Guo Meimei incident” only led to exposing their crimes.

Therefore it is absolutely the whole agency rather than

Guo Meimei herself who should be responsible for everything.”

Chen Yongmiao added that the bad reputation of the

RCSC also comes from its bureaucratic behavior like other CCP agencies.

Chen Yongmiao: ”In principle, all the donations to the Red

Cross should be voluntary.

However, the RCSC has made it compulsory,

such as by payroll deduction from your working units.

If you refuse to donate, you might be punished.

So in essence, the RCSC is a predatory agency

with some political power.

It overturns the principle of voluntary donation and replaces it

with its gang-like behavior.”

Chen Yongmiao has further cause to doubt the RCSC’s

legitimacy.

Chen Yongmiao: ”Under the current political regime in China,

I think the issue is whether the RCSC qualifies as a member

of the International Committee of Red Cross.

The ICRC should investigate its behavior.”

Comments also came from outsiders who said that the sharp

drop of private donations specifically reflects that the Chinese people lack trust for the RCSC.
