While United States citizens stranded in Lebanon were still worried about how to get a seat on a commercial flight, China had already completed the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Lebanon, arranging for Chinese citizens who were willing to evacuate to safely evacuate Lebanon by ship or charter flight.
It is said that "a Chinese passport cannot take you anywhere in the world, but when war and disaster come, it can take you home wherever you are", and as China once again demonstrated in Lebanon what is called "textbook evacuation", the gold content of this sentence has also continued to soar.
1. China's evacuation of overseas Chinese in Lebanon
When it comes to the matter of evacuating overseas Chinese, looking at the whole world, only China can do the best, and even in some cases, only China can do it.
It is no wonder that this time the Lebanon evacuation witnesses will say after the safe evacuation that they see the Chinese flag pasted on the roof of the car, and their hearts are full of security, which is really the same as the scene in the movie.
Moreover, it took only three hours from the time they received the evacuation notice from the Chinese embassy to the time they set off, and the embassy staff not only told them that "the motherland will definitely send you home safely", but also provided them with food, including the foreign family members who were together, and they were also treated in the same way.
It can be said that this is really heartwarming and touching.
After all, only when we are in danger and predicament can we understand how important it is to have a strong motherland, that the motherland is our biggest backer, and that the motherland is our confidence.
It is important to know that the expatriates in Lebanon are not only Chinese, but also citizens of many other countries.
In United States, for example, after the escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon, about 7,000 United States citizens in Lebanon turned to the United States embassy in Lebanon or the United States government for help to help them leave Lebanon.
However, the evacuation plan given by United States is not to directly send planes or ships to pick them up, as is the case in our country, but to try to cooperate with commercial airlines to see if it is possible to provide more seats on commercial flights for United States citizens in the Lebanon, and all the costs incurred during the period are United States borne by the citizens themselves.
You must know that Lebanon is at war, it is attacked by air at every turn, which commercial flight does not want to die, will fly to Lebanon in order to earn United States ticket money? And even if there are real commercial flights, then the ticket price will be very expensive, and naturally many United States who want to evacuate will not be able to afford it.
However, the United States also provided a solution, that is, you can find a loan from the United States Embassy, I have to say, this is really a capitalist country, its own citizens have reached the moment of life, and they are still looking at everything for money.
On the one hand, the United States still has no intention of officially evacuating overseas Chinese; On the other hand, the United States has told United States citizens stranded in Lebanon to prepare for shelter.
So you see, there is a stark contrast between the Chinese and American evacuations, and you say that at this critical moment, would you rather be a Chinese citizen or a United States citizen? The answer is obvious.
After the two evacuations, more than 200 Chinese citizens, 16 foreign family members, as well as 3 Hong Kong compatriots and 1 Taiwan compatriot were evacuated.Lebanon
This matter has also aroused concern and heated discussions in Taiwan, after all, although Taiwan is disobedient, at the critical moment, the "Taiwan compatriot card" in their hands can also bring them to safety, because Taiwan is Chinese, and Taiwan people are also Chinese.
As long as you are Chinese, then no matter where you are, the powerful motherland behind you will always be your reliance and will always escort you, so every time the mainland has evacuated overseas Chinese in recent years, it is comparable to the textbook level, and every evacuation of overseas Chinese has also stunned the world.
2. A Chinese passport will take you home
Let us review the several evacuations of overseas Chinese on the mainland in recent years.
In 2011, when the situation in Syria was turbulent, the mainland mobilized 4 transport planes, 5 cargo ships, 182 civil charter flights, chartered more than 20 foreign cruise ships, and successfully evacuated 35,860 Chinese citizens.
Also in 2011, when the situation in Egypt was tense, the mainland sent eight special planes to evacuate more than 1,800 Chinese citizens, including 360 compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
In 2015, when the civil war broke out in Yemen, the United States and the West both asked their citizens to evacuate themselves, but China sent a naval frigate to take Chinese citizens home amid the fire.
In 2015, when the Nepal earthquake occurred, the mainland immediately sent dozens of charter planes to bring thousands of Chinese citizens stranded in Nepal home, and the mainland was also the first country to send planes to evacuate citizens.
In 2016, the South Island earthquake in New Zealand, more than 1,000 tourists from many countries around the world were trapped, including more than 100 Chinese tourists, the mainland rented all the helicopters for the first time, and took the lead in evacuating the stranded Chinese tourists, when tourists from other countries were very envious, because after the disaster came, everyone hoped that they could leave as soon as possible, but their country did not come to pick them up, only the Chinese were safely picked up.
In 2016, a huge fire broke out in Israel, hundreds of Chinese students were trapped in the fire, and the mainland embassy in Israel dispatched as soon as possible to safely pick up all the trapped Chinese students.
In 2017, when the war in Iraq was serious, the mainland quickly brought back all Chinese citizens stranded in Iraq.
In 2019, the Bahamas was hit by a hurricane, and the mainland successfully evacuated Chinese citizens in the Bahamas.
In 2020, when the epidemic in Italy was serious, many Chinese citizens in Italy wanted to return to China, and the mainland acted quickly to organize the evacuation of overseas Chinese and brought them back safely.
In 2021, as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine intensified, the mainland brought back all Chinese citizens stranded in Ukraine, including the foreign family members of these Chinese citizens, who were also safely evacuated together.
In 2022, riots broke out in Timor-Leste, Tonga, Solomon Islands and other countries, and the mainland immediately organized the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and safely transferred the stranded Chinese citizens back to their motherland.
In 2023, when an armed conflict broke out in Sudan, the mainland acted quickly to organize the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and also sent naval warships to Sudan to cooperate with the evacuation of Chinese citizens.
Coupled with the Lebanon evacuation this time, don't you think this is the sense of security brought to us by a strong motherland?
And no matter which country has a war or disaster, as long as there is a Chinese embassy, then the Chinese citizens in the local area can wait for the evacuation with peace of mind, because no matter how dangerous it is, the staff of the Chinese embassy will stick to their posts, which is different from the American and Western embassies, they are the first time to close the embassy, and then immediately arrange for the embassy staff to evacuate.
For example, when Sudan evacuated its overseas Chinese last year, the United States first withdrew its staff in Sudan.
And the United States civilians stranded in Sudan can only ask for more blessings for themselves, like the citizens stranded in Lebanon this time, find a way to buy a commercial flight ticket to evacuate.
So again, a Chinese passport may not be able to take you anywhere, but it can take you home.
