This is a ridiculous joke!How can a pigeon become an international spy?But this is one of the great wonders of today's world: in the face of the delicacy and complexity of international relations, not even a pigeon is immune.
This India's ** accidental arrest of "Chinese spy pigeon" incident:
Capture location and time:This pigeon was caught in May last year near a port in Mumbai, India.
Pigeon characteristics:The pigeon is strapped with two leg loops with the words "Looks like Chinese" written on them. This was the main reason why India initially suspected it of being a "Chinese spy pigeon".
Misunderstanding:Because of the text on the pigeon's leg ring, India** suspected that the pigeon might have been used for espionage and therefore "detained".
The Truth Revealed:After 8 months of "detention", it was finally discovered that the pigeon was actually a pigeon that had fled from Taiwan to India. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the pigeon was released this Tuesday (30 January) and transferred to the Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to be cared for and released by a veterinarian.
Having said that, the "crime" of this pigeon, I am afraid, was nothing more than flying across the border and unfortunately landed in India. In the strife between nations, anything can be given political significance. A pigeon, perhaps just looking for a place to rest, unexpectedly gets involved in this political turmoil.
In the suspicion and confrontation between countries, anything can become a victim.
What happened to this pigeon is just a microcosm. In today's globalized world, countries are increasingly interconnected, but at the same time, suspicion and confrontation are also intensifying. In such a situation, anything can be given political meaning and become a victim of conflict.
