What to do in the event of a natural disaster?
"Flee, escape to safety!"
Ordinary people will answer this question when they encounter this question, so what if the scope of the disaster is expanded? What if your own country is not safe? Is it possible to flee abroad?
On this issue, Japan, which is prone to frequent natural disasters, must have a say.
Recently, American geological research experts suggested that Japan may be "catastrophe" in the future: according to reports, there is a high probability that an earthquake of magnitude nine or higher will erupt in the northeastern trench of Japan, and this large earthquake will trigger a series of chain reactions, the most serious of which may erupt into a giant tsunami.
"If this catastrophe occurs, it is likely to be a disaster for Japan." According to the research of American experts, the earthquake that may erupt this time is extremely destructive, "It is recommended that Japan find a place to evacuate as soon as possible and can take refuge in neighboring countries!" ”
The words of this American expert undoubtedly set off a public opinion war in China and Japan, will there really be such a big earthquake in Japan? If an earthquake does occur, why do Americans think that China is the best refuge for the Japanese? What will the Chinese people think of the remarks of American experts? If such a natural disaster really happened in Japan, would Chinese allow the Japanese to take refuge in China?
Historically, Japan has always been a country that has experienced many natural disasters, even Japan's famous Mt. Fuji is a very destructive active volcano, it is like a time bomb, once exploded will bring huge economic losses and casualties to Japan.
Since Japan is located at the junction of the two major plates of the Eurasian continent and the Pacific plate, the movement of the plates will cause earthquakes in Japan, and it is precisely the special geographical location that makes Japan a country with frequent earthquakes and tsunamis in the world.
In addition to the natural geographical location, Japan's frequent earthquakes are also related to the country's unconvergent "land reclamation". Because of the small size of Japan's land area and the small proportion of Japan's plains, in order to adapt to the development of the country, Japan in modern times has been almost obsessed with "reclamation of land".
As a result, Japan has been completely exploited, and too much human intervention has led to greater damage to Japan's already unstable land, increasing the chance of various natural disasters.
How frequent are earthquakes in Japan?
According to statistics, Japan has about 1,500 earthquakes every year, which means that an average of about four earthquakes occur every day. The frequency of earthquakes is so high, which makes sense of Japan's architectural structure and living habits.
Large and small earthquakes already make the Japanese miserable, plus Japan is an island country, facing the sea on all sides, so once an earthquake breaks out, it will easily lead to seawater movement, bringing about a tsunami, the secondary disaster of the earthquake, which will also bring Japan no less damage than the earthquake.
The main earthquake that can go down in the history of Japan is the 1923 Kanto earthquake, when Japan was experiencing a typhoon, and the combination of earthquakes and typhoons caused a serious fire in the Kanto region, destroying almost the entire capital of Tokyo.
The Japanese, who have been suffering from earthquakes for many years, know the actual situation in their own country very well, and they cannot change the fact that earthquakes are frequent, so they began to find another way, thinking that their country can completely change this dilemma by "invading other countries and emigrating from all over the country".
In fact, as early as the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the Japanese realized the danger of their own country, and at that time they had the idea of "plundering" other countries. As Japan's "neighbor", China, with its vast land and vast resources, is undoubtedly Japan's best choice.
"Our country is likely to sink to the bottom of the sea due to natural disasters, and in order to continue Japanese civilization, we recommend that the whole country move to China!" The Japanese rulers of the time exposed their wolf ambitions as early as then.
As a neighboring country, China not only has 9.6 million square kilometers of land, but also has abundant natural resources, and the Japanese have always regarded us as their best choice.
During World War II, Japan insisted on provoking a war of aggression against China, in fact, in the final analysis, it was also in this purpose, and if its own home was not good, it would rob other people's homes, which was no different from robbers.
Recently, American experts once again predicted a "new crisis" in Japan, and the future of Japan was once again mentioned.
As early as 2020, the Japanese cabinet issued an earthquake warning, believing that an earthquake of magnitude nine or higher is likely to break out in Japan someday in the future, which will bring a huge blow to Japan.
Coincidentally, the United States recently predicted an earthquake in Japan again. In May this year, the US Geological Survey, known as the "industry benchmark" in the industry, released its latest research report, clearly stating that in the next few years, an earthquake of magnitude 9 or higher is likely to erupt in northeastern Japan, and a giant tsunami will be triggered!
The Northeast Japan Trench mentioned by the USGS is the deep-sea trench located in the two most active plates, and the Pacific Plate here continues to descend below the Eurasian Plate, which is undoubtedly a huge energy field. The 800-kilometer-long trench was hit by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in 2011, along with a nuclear power plant accident that hit Japan with "20,000 deaths and $300 billion in economic damage."
If American researchers predict correctly, an earthquake in the northeastern Japanese trench will instantly cause a giant tsunami 30 meters high and a speed of up to 800 kilometers per hour. You know, this sea area is near Japan's capital Tokyo, Fukushima and other important cities, once an earthquake occurs, it will bring unpredictable huge losses to Japan.
The whole of Japan, which received the report from the US Geological Survey, was panicked, and on the one hand, the government strengthened disaster emergency drills and preventive measures; The Japanese people, on the other hand, don't know where to go.
"In order to preserve Japanese civilization, it is recommended that Japan relocate to neighboring countries as soon as possible!" Bruce Rin, a professor at the University of California, advises Japan.
Neighbors? The statement of this American expert is undoubtedly directed at China, isn't this digging a hole for China!
Japan's covetousness for China is well known, and before World War II, Japan tried in every possible way to learn Chinese culture; In 1937, Japan also launched an eight-year war of aggression against China, and even once moved a large number of Japanese nationals to China to survive; In recent years, Japan, as a defeated country, still does not repent, openly visits the "Yasukuni Shrine", and is said to have moved out of the Yin-Yang Sorcerer and the Chinese "fighting method".
The so-called US proposal to relocate to China this time is undoubtedly in Japan's hands. So why did the United States make such a proposal to Japan?
After the Second World War, the situation in the world underwent important changes. The emerging United States was a blockbuster, the Soviet Union was extraordinary, China had just established New China, and relations with the Soviet Union were relatively good, and Japan, as a defeated country, was in a slump. For its own interests, the United States at that time tried to support a country in Asia to become its own "power" in Asia.
Japan was thus "favored" by the United States, not only helping Japan to recover its economy, but also constantly strengthening cooperation between the two sides, so that Japan leapt from a defeated country to a developed country, and its scientific and technological strength is also among the best in the world. In return, Japan has always been "looking after the United States."
Many people will say, since the United States and Japan have close relations, why do American experts not recommend that the United States accept Japanese in the face of disaster?
After all, this is also a big move for the United States in Asia.
First, the United States is trying to put pressure on China. With the development of China, we have been committed to philanthropy for some time in the past, which has brought great benefits to the people of the world. "Since you are very good people, let's accept Japanese refugees~" The United States' approach is to use the influence of public opinion to put pressure on China.
Second, we must all be able to anticipate the pressure that the influx of people will bring to a country. If a large number of Japanese people pour into China, it will have a big impact on China's economic pressure and population pressure, which not only helps Japan to take refuge, but also blows China.
As for whether China will accept the advice of American experts, it actually depends on China's attitude, not the "double reed" between the United States and Japan.
For China, whether or not it can accept Japanese people is actually very complicated.
The reason for this gang is that China has always been a humanitarian. Whether it is infrastructure assistance to Southeast Asian countries or assistance to African countries, China's development has always been accompanied by the common development concept of the people of the world. Re-infection is a common issue for people all over the world, and we are willing to pay attention to it, and the mainland has always paid attention to and helped Japan, which is prone to disasters.
In the two earthquakes in Japan in 1923 and 2011, both the Chinese government and the private sector donated materials, which is the embodiment of Chinese Taoist care.
However, as a Japan that has been invading China for eight years and still refuses to apologize, it is also unacceptable for many Chinese to help Japan, after all, for many years, China has always adhered to the attitude of "friendly exchanges" and got along with Japan, but most of the feedback Japan gives back to us is negative.
Of course, we also have to consider our own capabilities, although the mainland is large and rich, but now the pressure of 1.5 billion people is also self-careful, if as American experts say, accept Japanese refugees, then it will also bring a lot of pressure to China.
Today's world is an interconnected "global village", and we also hope to help the countries in distress from a humanitarian standpoint, and if a major catastrophe does occur in Japan, we will actively seek cooperation, and hope that both sides will strengthen cooperation and dialogue with each other on humanitarian principles, so as to find the best solution for the survival and development of the two peoples.
