对华援助协会及其主席傅希秋牧师、孔杰荣（科恩）教授以及纽约大学在此高兴地宣布: 他们已经解决了关于在2012年5月成功地将中国盲人人权活动家陈光诚带到美国的相关事宜上所发生的误解。
 
孔杰荣教授以及纽约大学已经确认：事实与媒体报导的正好相反，对华援助协会给陈光诚的iPad 和 iPhone里没有用来监视通讯或窥探陈光诚的软件。孔杰荣教授以及纽约大学对于因媒体报导而对傅希秋、他太太蔡伯春和对华援助协会可能已经产生的任何负面影响深感歉意。傅希秋牧师以及对华援助协会承认孔杰荣教授为中国人权事业做出的重要贡献，并相信他和纽约大学就此事所发表的有关言论确实是因为对技术的误解而导致的。
 
在此，所有各方重申他们共同支持中国人民人权的立场。

JOINT STATEMENT by Rev. Bob Xiqiu Fu, Heidi Bochun Cai, ChinaAid and Professor Jerome Cohen, New York University
December 9, 2013
China Aid and its President, Reverend Bob Fu, Professor Jerome Cohen and New York University are all pleased to announce that they have resolved a misunderstanding related to their successful efforts to bring the blind Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng to the United States in May 2012.
Professor Cohen and NYU have confirmed that, contrary to media reports, an iPad and iPhone given to Mr. Chen by China Aid contained no software designed to monitor communications or spy on Mr. Chen.  Professor Cohen and NYU regret that media reports may have had any negative impact on Bob Fu, his wife Heidi Cai, or China Aid. Reverend Fu and China Aid recognize the important contributions of Professor Cohen to the cause of human rights in China and believe that his and NYU’s statements in connection with this matter were made in good faith based on a misunderstanding of technology.
All of the parties reaffirm their common support for the human rights of the Chinese people.
