The situation in Afghanistan is changing so fast that no country in the world has time to react. After the Taliban showed the red line, Western countries headed by the United States are rushing to evacuate. Among them, the strongest 1strong "struck" is Japan , which also made international jokes.
On August 23, Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan Katsunobu Kato stated that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will carry necessary weapons to Afghanistan to assist their citizens to leave. Although Japan made this decision without the consent of the Arab side, the current situation is severe and the Japanese government believes that there is nothing unreasonable about this behavior.
According to relevant treaties, as a defeated country in World War II, Japan is not allowed to have its own army, only Self-Defense Force . In accordance with the Japanese Constitution and the "Self-Defense Force Act", the self-defense force personnel going to Kabul can only operate in the safe area of the US military, and the Self-Defense Force cannot leave the country. Japan's act of forcibly dispatched this time may be more than simply evacuation of overseas Chinese. After all, even if the US military wants to evacuate its own personnel, it still needs to communicate with the Taliban first. If Japan really wants to take back its own personnel, it will inevitably evacuate its overseas Chinese at the cost of offending the Taliban.
On August 25th, a Japanese C-2 transport aircraft has already arrived at the first Kabul Airport ,The relevant personnel to be evacuated failed to arrive at Kabul Airport on the same day, and the Self-Defense Forces were unable to go to the urban area of Kabul, so the evacuation failed to start.
Interestingly, on the day Japan arrived in Kabul, the Taliban Mujahid publicly stated that he hoped that some Japanese would stay in Afghanistan and the Taliban could guarantee their personal safety. But it is hoped that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will withdraw as soon as possible. The garrison is a situation that the Taliban do not want to see.
On August 29, according to South Korea’s Dong-A Ilbo, although Japan sent a Self-Defense Force transport plane to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to evacuate its nationals and Afghans who had helped Japan, as of the 29th had successfully evacuated only one person , this is a far cry from the original goal of to withdraw 500 people from . The South Korean "Joongang Daily" titled "Japan's Kabul shame" , and "Japan’s withdrawal plan ended in failure" .
When Western countries are still evacuating their own personnel in a hurry, China has expressed its “calmness” because China has already completed the evacuation work.
On May 26, the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan issued a statement asking Chinese citizens not to go to Afghanistan in the near future.
On June 22, the Chinese Embassy once again reminded Chinese citizens and institutions in Afghanistan to leave the country as soon as possible.
July 2,The Xiamen temporary flight from Afghanistan to China reportedly found 22 confirmed cases on an entry plane from Hubei, which caused a lot of public concern at the time, but then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that the flight was a chartered flight for emergency returnees from Afghanistan. A total of 210 people were evacuated this time, including local Chinese enterprise employees and Chinese citizens.
It is reported that there was an episode during the evacuation this time. On the day of the evacuation, when the plane was closed and ready to take off, a local Chinese citizen suddenly received the news that he could return home. In order to wait for the Chinese citizen, the captain decided to wait in place. It's not easy. If you can bring one more, you can bring one more.
On July 30, the Chinese Embassy once again warned Chinese citizens in Afghanistan to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk.
On August 16th, at the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying stated that most Chinese citizens have already returned home with the help of the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan, and there are still some voluntary The embassy maintains close contact with the scattered personnel left behind, and they are currently safe.
I have to say, the vision of the Chinese leader. The situation in Afghanistan and the Chinese-style evacuation of overseas Chinese once again shocked the world, and made the Chinese people truly feel the strength of the motherland.
