Russia is an important partner and friend of China, and the two countries have maintained close cooperation in various fields. After this incident, Russian Prime Minister Mishustin expressed his condolences, and during his visit to China, he also expressed the highest level of friendship and support to China. Putin also extended his sincere condolences to the Chinese side and expressed condolences to the victims. Russia** is ready to send experts and equipment to assist China in its earthquake relief efforts. The Russian side is full of confidence in China and believes that China will be able to overcome this disaster and rebuild its beautiful homeland. Russia's condolences also reflect the new height of Sino-Russian relations and the friendship between the two sides.
Although the Chinese side did not mention specific leaders of the United States and Israel, this does not prevent us from feeling their hearts. The United States and Israel expressed their condolences to China in different ways, which once again demonstrated the spirit of a community with a shared future for mankind. ** It is a common challenge for China and other countries, and we should join hands and help each other whenever and wherever we are. This has also brought a test to the relationship between China and the United States and Israel, but we believe that the condolences will promote cooperation and friendship between the two countries.
Japan is a country that often faces ** disasters, and they are well aware of the pain and devastation that ** brings. After this incident, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida personally called the Chinese side to express his condolences. This mutual support and encouragement demonstrates the solidarity and friendship of the international community in the face of disasters. Whether it is China or Japan, we know that disasters do not respect national borders, and only through joint efforts can we overcome difficulties and rebuild our homes.
In the list of condolences and thanks released by the Chinese side, only four ASEAN countries, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, have expressed their condolences to China, while the remaining Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Singapore have not been mentioned. This came as a surprise. In fact, in Nepal** 2015, the 10 ASEAN countries expressed their condolences to Nepal and its neighboring countries, including India and Bangladesh, and actively participated in international relief efforts. However, when China suffered the most disaster this time, ASEAN countries did not give condolences immediately, and there were some flaws in etiquette. Although ASEAN countries tend to remain neutral and objective, we also hope to see more international friendship, solidarity and common progress in times of trouble.
Countries not mentioned in the list, such as Iran, North Korea, the United Kingdom, and India, may have been able to convey their messages of condolences to China through private or informal channels. In international relations, sometimes condolences are not always immediately made public. The fact that Britain and India are not mentioned may be due to some tensions between the two countries due to their disagreements with China on some key issues. However, regardless of whether these countries are included in the list of condolences or not, we should focus more on international cooperation and friendship in the face of difficulties and challenges.
The condolences of various countries not only reflect the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, but also demonstrate the recognition of the international community's growing influence on China. With its open attitude and friendly diplomatic strategy, China has continuously shaped its global image and enhanced its international status. Despite the challenges, China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development and strengthened its soft power by building partnerships with different countries. The countries on the list and the order in which they are ranked may be arranged according to the chronological order in which foreign countries** or organizations express their condolences to the affected countries, and may also take into account the importance and sensitivity of international relations. This ranking is based on the consideration of etiquette, and China, as a state of etiquette, has done a good job in this regard. Although some countries are not mentioned in the condolence list, this does not affect the fact that we see the international community's concern and support for China's disaster, and it also highlights China's growing influence in international affairs.
