The second of ten consecutive shifts.
――――――
Li Lan did not know what was going on in Beijing, and at this time, he was watching the details of the regular press briefing of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
At the beginning of the press conference, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China responded to the recent international situation. Soon came the question of Somalia.
"Our country has always been highly concerned about the situation in Somalia, especially the recent outbreak of large-scale disasters, and our legitimate citizen Li Lan, in the spirit of humanitarianism, has devoted himself to the relief operations in Somalia without hesitating all kinds of hardships.
Within two months, Li Lan had taken in more than 500,000 victims in northern Somalia and set up the largest refugee camp in the entire Somalia. At the expense of huge sums of money to provide food, clothing, and shelter for all refugees, this selfless spirit is worth learning from everyone in Shijie.
In view of Comrade Li Lan's righteous deeds, China has initiated discussions on this issue and unanimously decided to commend Comrade Li Lan for his tremendous contributions to the humanitarian field and to vigorously support Comrade Li Lan's rescue work materially.
A month ago, the first batch of relief supplies, 100,000 tons of food, arrived in the refugee camp, and the second batch of relief supplies is also under urgent preparation, and it is expected to arrive in Somalia by the end of this year.
We are now actively consulting with the Shijie humanitarian organization to step up relief efforts for the victims in other parts of Somalia. At the same time, we also call on all shijie to participate more actively in the humanitarian cause of rescue and disaster relief. Millions of people across Somalia are in dire need of assistance.
……”
This time, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry temporarily assumed the role of the spokesman of the State Council, when talking about the Somali issue. Advocacy was also added.
Dozens of reporters below are all immersed in recording. The speakers spoke slowly, and some of the main points and comments were recorded on the reporters' computers.
Then it's time for questions from reporters.
Reporter A: "I am a reporter from the China Xinhua News Agency, may I ask if Comrade Li Lan has obtained the state's permission in advance for this move?" ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "The state is very supportive of the international humanitarian cause for the self-development of every citizen, and naturally it will resolutely prohibit it." The most important thing in humanitarian undertakings is enthusiasm, and only enthusiasm and enthusiasm can be actively participated in them. In order to really bring substantial help to Shijie's various disaster areas. ”
Reporter A: "Xiexie, I'm done with your answer." ”
Field Control: "Next." ”
Reporter B: "I am a reporter from Japan's Kyodo News Agency, since Li Lan is a legal citizen of China, then Weishenme will recruit troops in Somalia before, according to information and intelligence, this person has tens of thousands of armed personnel in Somalia, as if he has become a very strong local armed shili." Moreover, the Somali Embassy in China has also lodged a protest with China in this regard. My question is. Is this also supported by China? ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "I can give the following answers to this question, first of all, in this regard, my country will not express any position. However, as a lawful citizen of China, China has the right to protect the personal safety of its citizens abroad. Even if he breaks the law. It must also be sanctioned by our laws.
As we all know, the current situation in Somalia is very worrying, and every foreigner who comes to Somalia is very worrying. More or less will hire some armed men to protect their lives. To gain a foothold in Somalia, in order to save more Somalis. The necessary armament is to ensure the smooth development of humanitarian work.
Although Comrade Li Lan is a legal citizen of our country, even though he has hired a lot of security personnel. But they are all Somali natives, and under the Somali legal framework, this does not violate local Somali law. Moreover, Comrade Li Lan is going to help the Somalis, and according to our understanding, those so-called armed personnel are not owned by him, but by several Somalis who share his like-minded ideas. ”
Reporter B: "According to the intelligence, the Bossaso government forces have designated that armed force as a rebel force, what does China think about this matter?" ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "The definition of an organization cannot be determined by just looking at the words of one party, no matter what kind of organization it is, as long as it can save civilians from danger, then the organization has its existential value." According to our intelligence, the official actions of the Bossaso government in the case of the victims are outrageous.
The refugees who should have belonged to them to help and care for, not only did they fulfill the responsibilities that a government should fulfill, but also repeatedly made things difficult for the rescuers. In order to discourage the rescue efforts of others, there has also been a chilling deliberate increase in the price of food, which has led to more Somali civilians falling into a situation of food shortages because they cannot afford it.
We strongly condemn this act, which shows no regard for the people of the world and deserves due punishment. ”
Reporter B: "Are we sure that the Chinese government supports the Bossaso rebels?" ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "In accordance with our long-standing policy and guidelines, non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries has always been our strong advocacy. However, we also have the obligation to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of our nationals in other countries. ”
Field Control: "Next." ”
Reporter C: "Hello, I'm a reporter from Reuters, and according to intelligence, the armed Shili led by Li Lan had a fierce armed conflict with the local armed forces and the armed personnel of the legitimate government of Bossaso more than four months ago, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties. According to official information from Bossaso, it was because the armed Shili led by Li Lan refused to allow Bossaso to comply with legal laws and resist taxes. What is China's view on this matter? ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "Again, according to effective intelligence, this armed shili is not owned by Li Lan, and Bossaso's tax system for foreign personnel should not be used on him." Moreover, the last armed conflict was launched by government forces to sweep away many of the tribes in Bossaso in one fell swoop.
If everyone really knows, they will understand the specific situation of that conflict, and the armed shili where Li Lan is located has always been in a state of passive defense, never taking the initiative to attack, and has never injured civilians.
China has always pursued a neutral national defense policy and will not take sides in any side, and as long as it does not involve the personal and property safety of our nationals, we will remain neutral. ”
Reporter D: "My AP reporter, if the security of the Chinese diaspora is endangered, then the Chinese side will not remain neutral and support one of them. ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "We solemnly reiterate that China pursues a neutral national defense policy and will resolutely not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and we strongly appeal to other countries not to interfere in their internal affairs."
We very much hope that the Somalis will be formally reunified, because a peaceful Somalia is in the interest of the overall interests of Shijie and can reduce the number of innocent casualties every year. It can also form a greater influence on the development of regional peace.
Li Lan, like every overseas Chinese, is a legitimate citizen of our country, and we have the determination and obligation to protect the safety of every overseas citizen. The entire armed forces of our country also have the determination and confidence to safeguard their rights and interests overseas and not to be infringed upon by other countries and organizations. (This is Huahua's expectation for the motherland in 20 years, and the students will not study it in depth.) )
Reporter D: "Can it be understood that the Chinese government is ready to send troops on the Li Lan issue?" ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "If Li Lan suffers unfair treatment from other countries in Somalia, the officers and men of our three armed forces will resolutely defend it." ”
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied in a sonorous and forceful manner, saying that as long as other countries dare to make any military or non-military moves against Li Lan, they will surely usher in a resolute confrontation from China. This is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that such strong words have been declared to Shijie.
This remark is also the result of an in-depth discussion between the No. 1 leader and the Politburo, and whether it is the role played by Li Lan in the region or the weapons and equipment he possesses, all of them have made the Chinese top brass see his extremely important role.
Speaking closely, China can expand its influence in the Gulf of Aden no less than sending an army to Somalia to station. To put it a little further, who dares to guarantee that Somalia will still be in the current situation in the future, and a Shili who dares to build a modern army in a bright and rapid manner will certainly have great influence in Somalia in the future.
And now, China needs to ensure that this rising shili is not destroyed by the liliang of the outside world. On the issue of the South China Sea and the East China Sea, China can be conservative (this point, Hua Hua will explain to you later, and everyone should understand the motherland better at that time, and it is not stupid to be the leader of a country. But in the distance, especially in Somalia, which is close to the Middle East on the Gulf of Aden, China has no reason to be conservative.
The strong wording of the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs silenced all the reporters of the entire press conference for a moment, and these people would be present whenever China held a regular press conference, and many of them had listened to the protest rhetoric of the Chinese government for several years.
Reporter E: "I'm a reporter from AFP, may I ask, does this mean that China has revised its defensive national defense policy?" ”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "No, the defensive national defense policy is still the national defense policy that we will pursue in the future, but it does not mean that under the defensive national defense policy, we will not be determined to safeguard the personal safety and legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese." We do not like war, but this does not mean that we are afraid of war, and our attitude toward safeguarding territorial sovereignty and national interests has never been more resolute. ”
At the same time as the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China's Ministry of National Defense announced that it would send an escort group to the Gulf of Aden to increase the overall strength of the escort group in the Gulf of Aden. (To be continued......)
