China AIDS community is involved in dispute on a sum of tens of millions dollars because
of the management problems of China Global Fund Round 6. Some activists are asking the
director of the program retired official to resign, but there are also some people that
relevant parties hope to stop the argument, and keep harmony.

At present, some people are having heatedly debated about fund management issues that is
in relation to one more than ten millions dollars in China AIDS community. Some activists
think, the program director Guan Baoying should step down, but it was also suggested that
no action was better than this, everyone should be suffering from the people living with
HIV/AIDS and a whole harmonious community as the most important benefits.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Programs was launched to channel
additional resources by United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annancalled in 2002. The
Fund invested in China Global Fund Round 6 AIDS Programme is one more than ten millions
U.S. dollars.

Fund managers around the conflict

The one of directors of ?China Global Fund Round 6 AIDS Programme? is related Guan
Baoying, former director of CDC in Beijing Municipal Health Bureau Chang Kun from
Xinjiang has been a Chinese AIDS activist, in his view, Guan Baoying who is suppressing
dissidents should step down:?the programme director in Beijing district, she is a retired
official, she does not consider the Fund?s work in dealing with a lot of problems. When
she faces different voices, her attitudes are to ask some AIDS-related agencies to
suppress those different voices and their voicers. She does not allow others to put
forward different views. She has made mistakes, and should face the wrong errors, correct
those errors, to refer the voices form AIDS community properly.?

Chang Kun said, Guan Baoying is a retired government official and controlling
international AIDS preventions and treatment funds, repressing the developing of civil
society, abducting the non-governmental organizations, and even making use of political
means.

A reporter tried to contact Guan Baoying, but the office telephone was not working.
Chang-Kun said that the argument around the programme management has been for some time.
But Guan Baoying has not given any response to the public.

From some views of websites about the work of China AIDS prevention and treatment, the
one of this focuses is caused around the Beijing AIZHIXING Institute and its director Wan
Yanhai. Some people of Guan Baoying?s supporters think, Wan Yanhai and Chang Kun who are
polity, should be stop AIDS work. Xiao Dong, from Beijing Chaoyang AIDS Work Group, said
on a statement, opposing to any organizations and individuals will put the introduction
of political issues into China AIDS prevention work.

Susu, from Hebei Langfang Brothers Group, think that, at present such this case, should
not be entangled in the problem of Guan Baoying to resign. He said:?I think some people
should not blindly follow to do this kind of things. Should have their own position. Why
do I say so? Because although we are the grass-roots organizations, but we still have to
rely on the local government department, if we completely oppose the government, I think
the government will very much dislike you!?

Susu said that, such as these grass-roots organizations in all provinces and cities in
China, are not their registrations and account numbers. An organization must be attached
in a government in order to obtain the help from foundations. Previous they closed to
Beijing AIZHIXING Institute, but this time, they think they should keep distance so that
they can get the funds from the China Global Fund Programme.

Susu said that, his organization is being attached unit is related Guan Baoying, was the
director of Beijing CDC, rather awkward identity: half of them are official, half of them
are unofficial. In his opinion, Guan Baoying, as the programme director, also did a lot
of practical works. He is worrying about that, if following some people to run to sign on
statements of human rights can be easily as instrument.

However, Zhejiang Love Working Group Wang Long said, Beijing AIZHIXING Institute did
nothing wrong. That Guan Baoying are treating grass-roots organizations is indeed
mistakes, should resign.?because her work is unfair, for example, some organizations are
linking to AIZHIXING Institute, a lot of government agencies feel angry. Beijing
AIZHIXING Institute provides free help, what a good thing! But, as Guan Baoying think you
are linking to AIZHIXING Institute is a problem.?

Wang Long said, there is a very ?frightening? to say in China: dividing the grass-roots
civil organizations two categories, support government or oppose government. Wang Long
also said, their Zhejiang Love Working Group has more than 300 members, most of the
members are living with HIV/AIDS. If the Funds will not give their funds because they are
linking to AIZHIXING Institute, they would be dire.

However, the leader of Guizhou QIANYUAN Working Group Nong Zhijun think that, such as
this dispute, the people in the local place do not to be involved, should keep neutral.?A
related meeting will be held, I think that, at present I probably should out stand now
before things do not investigate in any clear.?

Nong Zhijun also said, the Global Fund has offices in Beijing, they have begun an
investigation on this dispute. In this case, it would be best discussed after the results
of the related issues was published.
