China evacuated more than 500 China citizens from Yemen, which attracted wide attention and praise. "Thanks to the motherland!" People who crossed the war and set foot on their way home unscathed cheered heartily, and public opinion also greatly appreciated this action. A netizen wrote: the strength of the motherland lies not in how many countries are visa-free, but in being able to take you home in times of danger.
At the critical moment, decisive and scientific decision-making is very important. Saudi Arabia and other countries launched air strikes against the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. While some countries with expatriates are still considering when and how to evacuate overseas Chinese, China's warships have docked in Hongkong to pick up people. The CPC Central Committee kept a close eye on the situation in Yemen, accurately grasped the number of China citizens who needed to evacuate Yemen, activated the emergency mechanism on the night of the air raid, and fully considered the security situation in the Gulf region, and made a decision to send naval vessels to evacuate overseas Chinese. It can be said that both the timing and capacity, as well as the consideration of scale and means, are just right, which fully proves that the decision-making of the CPC Central Committee in national security is more decisive, accurate and scientific.
This action is a vivid interpretation of the national concept. Yemen's evacuation of overseas Chinese, from the design of the evacuation route to the preparation of daily necessities, from the coordination of international relations to the release of foreign information, all showed calmness, rationality and warmth of humanity, especially in maintaining the safety of citizens, which fully reflected the concern of the party and the government for citizens. The security concept of modern countries is a security concept that highlights the safety of citizens. The overall concept of national security advocated by the Central Committee is based on people's security, paying equal attention to national security and national security, and adhering to the people-oriented principle. Facing the Yemeni war crisis, China is most concerned about the personal safety of overseas citizens.
"Be the security guard of the people and Noah's Ark of compatriots", this evacuation operation has shown a high degree of professionalism in all aspects. In terms of sending troops, it is determined to be carried out by the China Navy's escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden, which is enough to deal with the security threat of Yemeni evacuation; In terms of evacuation mode, the Embassy of China in Yemen, in view of the insecurity of air and land evacuation, put forward the safest scheme of transferring to the port by land first and then to a third country; In terms of military security, the route and location of China ships to Yemen should be notified in advance to countries that are carrying out air strikes against Houthi armed forces to prevent accidental strikes and misjudgments. These measures have ensured the smooth progress of overseas Chinese evacuation.
It took less than five days from the early morning of March 26th to the end of the evacuation at noon on March 30th. Therefore, it is safe, efficient and smooth, thanks to more and more perfect systems and mechanisms and more and more powerful execution.
The successful operation witnessed the growth of China's power to protect overseas Chinese. In the era of poverty and weakness in China, overseas Chinese were confronted with war and crisis, and could only watch the expatriates from other countries leave safely or squeeze into ships and planes from other countries to escape. Many people were regarded as "fat sheep at the mercy of others". The Yemeni evacuation incident shows once again that the country's ability to evacuate and protect overseas Chinese in crisis management, emergency command, emergency support and international coordination is constantly improving in China today.
A technician who evacuated from Yemen said: "It is an unfortunate honor to be able to evacuate by warship. The motherland is strong, and it also makes us feel practical and at ease. " These words actually revealed the * * * intentions of the evacuees.
In today's era of globalization, more and more China people will "go out" to all parts of the world. At present, the world is still very restless, wars are still frequent in some countries and regions, and security risks are one after another. The evacuation of overseas Chinese from Libya to Yemen tells people that wherever they go, the motherland will always be a strong backing.
