【新唐人2014年10月24日讯】今年2月西非爆发的埃博拉疫情持续蔓延，至今已造成将近5000人死亡。日前，英国《每日电讯报》一篇文章指出，联合国的一个机构在继续指责富裕国家没有全力对抗埃博拉病毒的同时，也抨击中共当局没有给予这项对抗足够的援助。那么，中共为何消极援助埃博拉呢？请看报导。
英国《每日电讯报》22号刊登一篇文章说，联合国“世界粮食计划署”(The World Food Programme,WFP)的官员，对中共和中国“一夜暴富”的亿万富翁，在西非爆发埃博拉后的反应，公开表示不满。
文章引述“世界粮食计划署”在中国的代表的话说，现在是中国的亿万富翁展现他们巨大影响力的时刻，但是这些富翁们却一点表示也没有。
文章指出，中共是非洲的主要投资者，中共知道，可以通过大型商业项目来扩大自己在非洲的影响力，但无论是中共当局还是私营部门，对于运用自己的经济实力，来支持非洲抗击埃博拉，反应却相对迟缓。
到目前为止，中共当局只向联合国最主要的“埃博拉援助基金”(Ebola relief fund)捐献了大约830万美元，而英国的捐款是1880万美元，美国则多达2亿美元。
文章说，北京当局曾经承诺，将再向联合国这一基金捐出3400万美元，但是这笔钱至今尚未支付。
在联合国人道事务协调办公室(Office the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs)的援助资金中，现在美国的捐款占了三分之一，但中共的捐款还不到百分之二。
中国社会问题研究人士张健：“中国在世界发生了一些大的灾难的时候，它所扮演的角色是无足轻重的，它所付出的也是杯水车薪的，但是对于共产国家以及极权专政的国家，它是非常慷慨的，比如北韩、当年的红色高棉，它都输出了大量的金钱，因为中国所有的援助建立在支持它独裁政权的基础上，而不是真正为人民福祉的基础上去进行援助。”
世界卫生组织WHO紧急委员会，22号在日内瓦举行会议，讨论埃博拉疫情。世卫组织表示，埃博拉疫情至今已造成至少4877人死亡，而截至10月19号，已有9936例有记录的感染病例。
世卫组织说，遭埃博拉疫情打击最严重的三个国家：利比里亚、塞拉利昂和几内亚，仍严重缺乏病床，以及外国医疗团队的支援帮助。
报导说，对于联合国筹集对抗埃博拉资金的进度，美国总统欧巴马已多次表达无奈，一个多星期来，他一直在打电话，试图说服各国领导人，希望能筹集更多的捐款。
时政评论员伍凡：“埃博拉发展非常非常快，想像不到的快，还会扩大，如果世界各国不去投入人物、物力、资本，那这个就是人类的灾难，现在投入最积极的是美国，美国派出军队、医生，也投资了两亿多美金，联合国要准备筹集10亿美金，美国已经投入将近三分之一了，可中国连一千万都不到，可是它在非洲投入几百亿美金。救人的事情，它一点不关心，它讲赚钱，这就是共产党。”
时政评论员伍凡分析认为，中共不积极援助的一个原因，可能是想利用这个事情来削弱欧洲，削弱美国，而让自己可以独大起来。
伍凡：“它抱着这么个心态，希望美国的麻烦多多，可是美国认为这是一个世界人类的事情。中国赚了那么多钱，这些富豪们，钱都留给子孙，中国政府也是如此。所以现在联合国批评他们，可是这批人，皮很厚啊，你再批评他们都无所谓，他们没有想要救人类的概念，只想自己发财。”
相对于中国富豪的冷漠，美国富豪如何呢？据《每日电讯报》9月11号报导，比尔及梅琳达•盖茨基金会9月10号宣布，将在之前捐赠的1000万美元的基础上，再捐5000万美元，以支持西非对抗埃博拉。基金会表示，这笔钱将由联合国、世界卫生组织、美国疾病防控中心、以及对抗埃博拉的其他国际组织支配。

United Nations Dissatisfied With CCP’s Response to Ebola
In February of this year, Ebola broke out in West Africa
and continued to spread.
So far it has resulted in nearly 5,000 deaths.
Recently, an article in Britain’s Daily Telegraph says that
an agency of the United Nations continues to accuse
wealthy countries of not making full efforts to fight
against the Ebola virus.
It also criticizes Chinese authorities for failing to give
adequate assistance in this matter.
On Oct. 22, British Daily Telegraph published an article
stating that an official from the United Nations’ World Food
Program (WFP), publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China’s billionaires
response to the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa.
The article quoted the words of WFP’s China correspondent
who said now it is a moment for China’s billionaires
to demonstrate their enormous influence,
but these millionaires have none.
The article says the CCP is a major investor in Africa.
The CCP knows they can expand their influence in Africa with
large commercial projects, but both the Chinese authorities
and private enterprises of China made a relatively slow
response to supporting the African’s fight against Ebola
by exerting their economic strength.
So far, the Chinese authorities only contributed
approximately $8.3 million to the UN’s Ebola Relief Fund,
while the UK contributed $18.8 million
and the United States as much as $200 million.
Chinese social problems researcher Mr Zhang Jian:
“When a major disaster takes place in the world,
China plays an insignificant role and contributes a little.
But for those countries which are also totalitarian
communist regimes or dictatorships, China is very generous,
such as North Korea, and the Khmer Rouge, who
at that time all received a lot of assistance from China.
All the assistance offered by China builds on the basis
of its supporting the dictatorship rather than really
on the basis of pursing welfare for the people."
The article says that the Beijing authorities have promised
to donate $34 million to this UN fund.
But until now the money has not been paid.
Of all the aid donation sources of the United Nations’ Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs,
the US now accounts for a third,
but the CCP donated less than two percent.
The report says United States President Barack Obama
has repeatedly expressed his frustration
over the United Nations progress
to raise funds against Ebola.
For more than a week, he has been on the phone trying
to convince world leaders, hoping to raise more donations.
The World Health Organization (WHO) emergency
committee held a meeting in Geneva on Oct. 22 to discuss
the Ebola outbreak.
WHO says Ebola has so far killed at least 4,877 people.
Up until Oct. 19, 9,936 cases have been recorded
as infection cases.
WHO says the Ebola outbreak hit hardest
in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
There is still a severe shortage of beds,
as well as support to help foreign medical teams.
Political affairs commentator Mr Wu Fan:
“Ebola spread very very fast, at an unimaginably fast speed
and will further expand.
If the world does not invest human resources and capital,
this will be a human disaster.
The most active investor is the U.S. which sent troops
and doctors, and has invested more than $200 million.
The United Nations will prepare to raise one billion dollars.
The United States has invested nearly a third,
but China contributed less than ten million.
China invests tens of billions of dollars in Africa,
but does not care about rescuing people.
It only cares about making money.
This is the Communist Party."
Wu Fan believes one reason that the Chinese Communists
do not actively offer aid may be that they want to take
this opportunity to weaken Europe and the United States,
and strengthen themselves.
Wu Fan: “It’s holding such a state of mind—
hoping trouble for the United States.
China earned so much money.
These billionaires left money to descendants,
and the Chinese government is the same.
So now the United Nations criticize them,
but these people are very audacious.
They do not care about your criticism.
They do not have the concept of rescuing other people,
just their own fortune."
Compared to the indifference of Chinese millionaires,
what did America’s wealthiest do?
According to a Daily Telegraph report on Sept. 11,
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced on Sept. 10
that the foundation donated $50 million to support
West Africa against Ebola.
They had previously donated $10 million.
The Foundation said the money will be governed
by the UN, WHO, the United States Center
for Disease Control, as well as
other international organizations against Ebola.
