彭博社：安利利用哈佛大学成就与中国的关系(3)

　　哈佛大学培训计划
 

　　在由安利公司赞助的一项计划中，安利公司资助每年100万美元的费用。哈佛大学的约翰·肯尼迪学院，一直在训练被称为安利研究员的中国共产党官员。自2002 年以来，该计划输送超过500名的中国官员到马萨诸塞州的剑桥市学习为期几个星期的公共管理课程。每一期参与的官员还要访问在密歇根州大急流城附近亚达城的安利公司总部。

　　在中国，没有什么比“关系”更有价值，这个词是做生意的关键因素，安利利用哈佛计划成就了他超大化的关系网络。虽然没有这些学员的公开列表，但是彭博社确定其中50名校友的简历曾出现在中国官方的出版物和网站上。

　　安利研究员包括现在的（2013年）河南、宁夏和陕西省领导，三个省总人口约一亿三千八百万。还有现任南京市和无锡市党委书记、国家民政部副部长、国家工业及信息技术部副部长。名单上还有2名官员成为中国食品药品监督管理局省级分支机构的领导，他们有批准营养品和化妆品销售的权利（安利产品）。另一个校友是政府机构制定直销政策的一名前官员。

　　Harvard Training

　　In a program bankrolled by Amway at a cost of about $1 million a year, Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government has been training Communist apparatchiks known as Amway Fellows. Since it started in 2002, the program has brought more than 500 Chinese officials to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to study public management for a few weeks. Every group also visits Amway’s headquarters in Ada, Michigan, near Grand Rapids.

　　In a country where nothing is more valuable than guanxi, the term for the connections considered crucial to doing business, Amway has supersized its network thanks to the Harvard program. Though there are no public lists of participants, Bloomberg Markets identified 50 alumni through references in resumes in official publications and on websites.

　　The Amway Fellows include current leaders of Henan, Ningxia and Shaanxi provinces, with a combined population of about 138 million; the party secretaries of cities Nanjing and Wuxi; and the national vice ministers of civil affairs and industry and information technology.

　　Also on the list are two officials who became heads of provincial branches of what’s now the China Food and Drug Administration, which approves the sale of nutritional products and cosmetics, Amway staples. Another alumnus is a former official in the government agency that polices direct selling.
