The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has worsened, with more than 6,100 people killed, most of them innocent. In order to protect the safety of their own citizens, the United States, Japan and South Korea have begun to evacuate overseas Chinese, and whether China will carry out the evacuation operation has aroused concern from the outside world.
There are rumors that 280 Chinese citizens are still trapped, but what is the truth?
When the outside world is hotly discussed, my country has already taken low-key action.
China has always upheld the spirit of humanitarianism and resolutely guaranteed the lives of innocent people. Previously, China has successfully completed the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Libya, Yemen, Sudan and other places, whether it is ** or foreign leased oil tankers, all to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens.
At the same time, we have done everything we can to help some foreign populations evacuate dangerous areas, reflecting the humanitarian spirit of our country. This series of evacuation actions has not only won the recognition of the Chinese people, but also won the praise of peace-loving people all over the world.
In the recent Palestinian-Israeli conflict, our country's response is different from the past. This time, the state did not immediately organize a large-scale force to evacuate overseas Chinese, but suggested that local Chinese citizens take commercial flights to return to China as soon as possible.
This is in stark contrast to the United States and Western countries that have begun to evacuate overseas Chinese in a hurry. The U.S. has begun charter flights to Israel to help stranded Americans return home or go to a third country. Japan and South Korea also began evacuation operations on October 14.
Although the United States, Japan, and South Korea have additional conditions attached to the evacuation, such as the need to pay a certain fee to board the plane, many people still leave Israel safely. However, some Western** took this opportunity to attack China's "inactive" evacuation, accusing China of "disregarding the safety of people's lives".
But this is not the case.
China has always put people's lives and safety first, and its evacuation operations have been swift and effective, helping more than 35,000 Chinese citizens evacuate Libya in less than 10 days.
In contrast, the United States** made American citizens wait during the Libyan evacuation operation, apparently lacking sufficient attention to the safety of their lives. The United States, Japan, and South Korea have actively rescued people, but given the act of collecting money to save people, their motives are inevitably suspicious.
The West deliberately covers up the facts and fabricates rumors that China will not take positive actions in order to damage China's international image. However, while issuing a statement, China has launched a low-key positive action.
280 Chinese were trapped in the southern Israeli city of Sdwater, not far from Gaza in a sensitive area of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has seriously hampered the local external traffic, and the lives of 280 Chinese citizens are facing a serious threat.
China immediately instructed the Chinese Embassy in Israel to make every effort to protect the safe evacuation of these 280 compatriots, and all the staff of the embassy acted quickly.
In the face of the danger of Hamas rockets, our country insists that it will not abandon any Chinese citizen in distress. Risking their lives, the brave staff traveled to Stockwater to calm the panic of the trapped people and bring them much-needed water and food.
At the same time, our embassy also actively communicated with Israel** and finally succeeded in increasing the number of flights to China. In this relay of life, the embassy went all out and successfully helped all 280 Chinese citizens evacuate safely.
All Chinese citizens living in other countries, the local embassy staff are constantly monitoring your situation. No matter what the problem is, as long as you ask the embassy for help, they will respond immediately.
With the intensification of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has confirmed that 4 Chinese citizens were killed in this conflict, and another 2 are missing, and the safety of Chinese citizens is seriously threatened.
So, were the four slain nationals the work of Hamas, or was it Israel? We need to be clear that China has always adhered to a neutral position and treated conflicts with hospitality.
Therefore, both Palestine and Israel have a good impression of our country. The Chinese people in the local area have won the recognition of the locals for their kindness and hard-workingness.
Therefore, when the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out, holders of Chinese passports could enjoy relative security in the local area. However, in the context of war, security is always relative, and prolonged artillery firefights can still lead to the ** of Chinese citizens, including these four Chinese citizens.
It is not yet possible to determine who is the main suspect in the killing of the four Chinese citizens, and there are different opinions and speculations about this.
Some people claim that Hamas forces have killed Chinese citizens, and some people say that Israeli heavy artillery fire has killed Chinese people, but in any case, this war has really threatened the personal safety of Chinese citizens.
In such a situation, why does the state not take action to evacuate the nationals?
The Chinese Embassy in Israel has always upheld the spirit of protection for Chinese citizens living there. Safety reminders have been issued many times to remind everyone to pay attention to safety precautions, and at the same time provide accurate and detailed traffic route information in case of emergency.
In addition, the embassy staff works in 24-hour shifts to carry out consular document work to ensure that Chinese citizens can go through the procedures for returning to China smoothly at any time.
Whether you choose to return home or continue to live there, we will provide the necessary help and support to ensure your safety and rights.
After comprehensive consideration, China** did not immediately start the evacuation operation this time, partly because of the choice of local Chinese citizens in Israel. Soon after the start of the new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel stabilized the situation with its powerful military force, and the local environment was relatively safe.
Therefore, given that the local environment is relatively safe, there is no need for us to rush to evacuate the country. The current situation does not need to immediately organize the evacuation of overseas Chinese, whether to evacuate overseas Chinese, when to evacuate overseas Chinese, the country has its own rhythm and arrangement, I hope that the majority of netizens will not be confused by the rumors of the West.
Countless examples have proven that no matter where you are, the country will never abandon any Chinese citizen. This is like what is conveyed in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2": no matter where you go, remember that there is a strong motherland behind you that supports you!
