Recently, the Red Cross Society of Gansu Province has been caught in a storm caused by false information on the Internet. False remarks about its list of disaster relief expenses circulated on the Internet, accusing the Red Cross of having too high a problem in purchasing quilts, rice, cooking oil and other relief materials, and some people even questioned that the Red Cross was "difficult to make a fortune". In the face of these serious false accusations, the Red Cross Society of Gansu Province quickly responded by issuing a "Statement on the Recent Spread of False Information on the Internet" to set the record straight.
The Gansu Provincial Red Cross Society stressed in a statement that all social donations will be earmarked for Jishi MountainLevel 2** Disaster Relief and Post-Disaster Reconstruction Work will not charge any management fees. This initiative demonstrates the Red Cross's cherishing of public trust and its determination to use social donations in accordance with the law, strictly and standardly.
In response to the spread of false information, the Gansu Provincial Red Cross Society said it would take legal measures to resolutely crack down on rumor-mongers and safeguard the reputation of the Red Cross Society and the public's right to know. At the same time, the Red Cross also welcomes and thanks all sectors of society for their enthusiastic supervision of its work, and hopes that through the participation and guidance of the public, it will do a good job in earthquake relief and other work.
This cyber turmoil once again reminds us that we need to remain rational and vigilant in the face of online information. It is the responsibility of each of us not to spread false claims without substantiation. We should resolutely resist acts of deliberately creating and spreading rumors, and work together to maintain the cleanliness and order of cyberspace.
Finally, let us express our respect and support to the Red Cross Society of Gansu Province. In the face of disasters, the Red Cross is always the first to lend a helping hand and provide timely and effective assistance to the affected people. It is believed that with the joint efforts of the whole society, the affected people will rebuild their homes at an early date and usher in a better tomorrow. At the same time, we hope that the Red Cross will continue to uphold the principle of openness and transparency, so that every donation can be used to maximize the value.
