Less than two days into October, a sudden international crisis erupted, which alarmed many countries.
China is no exception, and there are many Chinese students studying abroad in Lebanon, who may not have known the seriousness of the situation at the time, so they continued to stay until the latest news of the evacuation came from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, and they realized that they might be in danger.
This is also the first time that China has evacuated overseas Chinese in Lebanon, but fortunately, everything is going smoothly as expected, on September 30, the mainland's evacuation of overseas Chinese in Lebanon was officially launched, and Operation Pandora on October 1 was successfully concluded.
The 215 Chinese nationals and their family members of foreign nationals boarded the plane without incident, but the problems did not stop there, as the complex situation and airspace at the time made the evacuation very dangerous.
China's evacuation of overseas Chinese in Lebanon.
China's evacuation in Lebanon is divided into two phases, one is to fly to Besselt Airport, and the other is to evacuate overseas Chinese on the ground in Lebanon.
Operation Pandora, on the other hand, was an evacuation operation in Lebanon, a name given by the mainland's Epiphany Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself.
Why is that?
Because Pandora is the name of a beautiful goddess in Greece, she has a mysterious box on her body, and in the mythological story, she accidentally opened the box out of curiosity, resulting in natural disasters, thus alluding to the uncertainty caused by this Lebanon war.
China's speed, security, freedom, and orderliness in the rapid evacuation of overseas Chinese in various countries demonstrate the strength of its ability to coordinate foreign affairs.
Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, countries have gradually returned to normal life, and in order to allow overseas citizens to return to China, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland has gradually introduced some policies, such as notifying foreign embassies and consulates to provide them with more convenient and convenient ways to return to China, so as to help them return to China smoothly.
When the situation escalated Lebanon Lebanon September 30, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a message saying that it would issue a notice to avoid danger in Lebanon and would continue to follow up on the situation.
The next day, the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China set up a WeChat group for Chinese citizens in Lebanon to share information in a timely manner, ensuring two-way communication on the peaceful return of China.
At that time, 215 Chinese citizens in Lebanon and their families were endangered, including many Taiwan who coveted the interests of the mainland and took root in the mainland.
It can be said that Taiwan and the mainland are tied together, and living in Taiwan will bring us a lot of convenience, while in Taiwan will be restricted.
Either one is a very stable state, so the relationship between the people in these two places and the people in the mainland should be said to be very harmonious, both at home and abroad.
Of course, there are also some Taiwan who study and work abroad, and they have no hatred relationship with mainlanders, and naturally hope that the mainland can become stronger and stronger.
So they're still part of the continent, just outside.
In the following days, the mainland successively completed the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Lebanon, which lasted 72 hours, and finally 216 citizens successfully evacuated Lebanon, including a French wife, her Taiwan husband and children.
After the mainland completed the evacuation of overseas Chinese earlier, many media gave praise, including Taiwan media who believed that China's move was as wonderful as a movie, explaining the evacuation process to overseas citizens from different angles and easily solving the problem.
The Taiwan side affirmed the achievements of China's withdrawal, which shows that the mainland government has always adhered to the belief in maintaining peace and stability and has made continuous efforts.
Taiwan is part of China.
In today's domestic and international situation, many people still kindly believe that we and Taiwan are a unified Taiwan Province, and no matter how it develops, we are happy to let them live and develop together with us.
They believe that Taiwan people need to be protected, and as long as they hold Taiwan compatriot certificates, they will be protected by the mainland.
Of course, they also fall into another class, and some may think that we have to accept unity in order for them to be protected.
But this is not true, these people have been greatly affected, and they seem to have combined this matter with the issue of reunification, and they have strengthened their own idea - whether it is unified or not, the mainland will always be the continent, and we will never tolerate it.
This can be seen from the various decisions made by the mainland government earlier, including helping the wife of a France citizen to escape, whether this person is online or whether this child has a Taiwan compatriot card, it cannot affect the mainland to protect their progress, and we will always be one.
There are also some Taiwanese who want to be part of the mainland and maintain good relations with other countries, which is also judged by the Taiwan media to be reasonable.
Public opinion comments are so coincidental that they are always able to marvel at the creation of such unnecessaryness.
Some people should be clear about what they want when they are looking for answers.
Of course, the Lu family cannot give up reunification for this reason, and we will always be a part of China and an inseparable flesh and blood.
Interpret Taiwan media's evaluation of China's evacuation of overseas Chinese.
It must be made clear that those who think that the mainland has nothing to do with them have no real meaning.
Let's not talk about this reality, but let's start with our point of view.
Overall, China has done an excellent job of Operation Pandora, demonstrating its outstanding diplomatic capabilities.
On September 30, 2023, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it had taken care of all staff in Lebanon and stepped up vigilance.
If similar incidents break out again in other countries or regions, China can definitely learn from this case to optimize and improve, and its ability to respond to emergencies will be improved.
In fact, not only China, but other countries are also evacuating their nationals in the face of an international crisis, which can actually be regarded as an emergency response model.
We also hope that other countries will learn from this model, taking United States as an example, United States has carried out tens of thousands of evacuation operations, and no country will have such a strong civilian force as United States, which is incomparable to other countries.
But we also believe that other countries can adapt to this model and develop their own unique ways to provide security for their own citizens and gradually improve their own capabilities.
Of course, only by strengthening cross-strait exchanges and cooperation can we more effectively provide guarantees for Taiwan compatriots abroad.
I think this point is indeed true, and we can further clarify this viewpoint, and the implementation of such protective measures is precisely in the hope that Taiwan compatriots can change their stance, establish good cooperative relations with the mainland, and jointly promote the development and prosperity of the country.
