This
month, Chinese legislators are reviewing a ground-breaking proposal
that would provide compensation to tens of thousands of victims of
the HIV/AIDS tainted blood disaster. A new report, released today by
Asia Catalyst, shows this compensation fund is urgently needed, since
victims have been unable to get fair compensation on their own.
本月，中国的立法者将要审阅一份开创性的提案。这份提案提议为中国几万名血液污染受害者提供补偿。亚洲促进会今天发布了一份研究报告，表明由于受害者无法通过其他途径获得补偿，中国急需建立一个补偿基金来处理这个问题。

This week, China’s State Council published its 12th Five Year Action Plan of China HIV/AIDS Control, Prevention and Treatment. The new plan lays out an assessment of HIV/AIDS in China and government strategy to combat the epidemic.
The plan states that sex has become the main vector of HIV transmission and that the epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) has increased significantly. Spousal transmission has also increased. In the areas lacking
prevention of mother-to-child transmission efforts (PMTCT) are not conducted, the rates of mother-to-child transmission are high.

Today, as the 11th round of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations kicked off in Melbourne, Australia, the Vietnam Network of People living with HIV/AIDS (VNP+) released the “VNP+ Declaration on the Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreement and Access to Medicines in Vietnam.”
