人民网纽约7月8日电 被媒体披露向陈光标颁发假证书的 “中国全球合作基金会”(下简称基金会)今天在网站发布声明为自己辩解。
基金会称,向陈光标提供的基金会介绍手册和名片,上面标注该基金会不从任何方面代表联合国。他们感谢陈光标捐给基金会3万美元。他们说证书是由陈光标自己提供的。基金会认为这张证书上的内容有误导,并再次告诉陈光标该基金会不能代表联合国,而只能代表基金会本身为他颁奖。
基金会的说法与陈光标接受媒体采访的内容完全不同。陈光标称证书是一个叫周露露(音)的华人给他的,并索要五六万美元的赞助费。证书上有中英文的“联合国”大字,在上面的签名叫唐纳修。唐纳修在网上的自我介绍说是瑞士银行的高级副总裁,基金会应该是他的兼职。人民网记者打通了他在纽约的电话,但他说不接受媒体采访。
这个基金会今天已删除其官网上主席团成员的资料和所有图片,以及在Facebook的账号。人民网记者在网上找到一个周露露的电话号码,但拨打多次没人接听。基金会的自我介绍语言模糊,给人的印象好像是联合国下属组织。他们请到多名联合国高层官员参加其举办的活动。这个周露露名下还有其他组织,目标都是针对中国人或中国企业,以与联合国合作的名义举办活动。
一位熟悉内情的人士告诉人民网,有不少华人,专门打着联合国的旗号举办各种展览、推广活动,针对的都是中国人。而这其中,一些联合国官员和国家驻外外交官起到了不光彩的作用。他们明知有诈,却在拿了钱的情况下,配合表演。
陈光标表示,他从不会花钱买荣誉,他将用法律手段制裁“中国全球合作基金会”。人民网将密切关注此事的进展。

中国全球合作基金的声明:
OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM
CHINA FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP
New York, 8 July 2014
The China Foundation for Global Partnership is responding today to unfounded and factually incorrect stories circulating in the press principally in China relating to the Foundation in respect of an award we presented to Mr. Chen Guangbiao. Sadly, we are forced to respond to what amounts to another publicity stunt by Mr. Chen Guangbiao.
The China Foundation for Global Partnership is a New York based not-for-profit organization dedicated to advance philanthropy and global partnership in support of the United Nations millennium development goals in China.
Here are the facts:
Mr. Chen Guangbiao approached the Foundation about a high- profile event he planned for New York City – distributing $300 dollars each to homeless people in the city. The idea for the event was laudable. The importance of the event to Mr. Guangbiao was understood as he took out a full page ad in the New York Times to publicize it.
He met with China related organizations including the Foundation in New York prior to this event. At that time he briefed us on his impressive philanthropic activities and we introduced the mission of the Foundation to him. We also provided him with the Foundation’s brochures which clearly state that the Foundation does not represent the United Nations in any capacity. This is also stated on the business cards that were handed to him by officers of the Foundation. At this time, impressed by the mission of the Foundation, Mr. Guangbiao donated $30,000 in support of our mission for which we thanked him.
Subsequently Mr. Chen asked the Foundation to give him an award during his event for the homeless for his many philanthropic activities. This seemed to us a worthy thing to do and at the time we were also hoping that by presenting him with an award we could inspire more philanthropic activities from Chinese business leaders in accordance with our mission.
On the day of the homeless event in Central Park, Mr. Chen presented the Foundation with a certificate that misleadingly appeared to be from the United Nations which he asked us to present to him. We assumed it was a misunderstanding and we again made clear to him that we do not and cannot represent the United Nations in any capacity and can only provide an award from the Foundation itself which we then presented to him.
We regret that Mr. Chen Guangbiao feels that an award from the Foundation was not sufficient.
The Foundation’s mission is to bring and inspire a new generation of Chinese business leaders to engage in philanthropic work, both domestic and internationally, we do not wish to participate in this publicity stunt and hope this statement can put this situation to rest.
