Small countries in Southeast Asia, the world powers are all nice to it, but it says: I only go with China.

We often say that "there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests". I think this sentence is true in most cases, but there are exceptions. In Southeast Asia, there is such a small country, which is grateful for its kindness and has never forgotten China's help because of its interests. This small country is East Timor.

East Timor is a small country in Southeast Asia, located on Timor Island. People in this land are also ill-fated During the16th century, there was no country in Timor. It was first lost the right to rule the kingdom by shriver in Sumatra, and later it was ruled by Boyi. The people of Timor have no sense of belonging, and they are plundered and taken away by big countries like trophies.

By the middle of16th century, the Timorese people, who had been restless for several years, were once again invaded by Portuguese colonists. It's no big deal for the people on the island, it's just a change of ruler, but it wasn't long before the Netherlands split Timor in two for this land, so East Timor and West Timor were divided.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 8th century, Britain rose, and this unyielding empire came to seize Timor Island and took control of West Timor. Several big countries kept rushing forward, which led to the instability of people's lives on the island and many indigenous people fled to other countries. Therefore, most people living in Timor are immigrants, while those who want independence are foreign immigrants.

1942, Japan entered Southeast Asia. At that time, East Timor was ruled by Portugal. Japan sent troops to drive the Portuguese out of East Timor and occupied it by itself. Japan has always been known for its brutality. On the land of East Timor, the Japanese killed a large number of East Timorese residents by despicable means. The East Timorese are hostile to the Japanese, and they don't want anything from Japan.

After the end of World War II, Australia ruled East Timor, and East Timor was handed over to Portugal soon. 1975, the people of East Timor voted for East Timor's independence, and the Democratic Republic of East Timor was formally established. The independence movement was strongly supported by China. However, in the same year, in 65438+February, Indonesia sent troops to East Timor, making it a province of Indonesia. This behavior was opposed by the United Nations. China severely condemned Indonesia's practice and demanded Indonesia.

1982 The United Nations General Assembly voted on whether East Timor was independent, and the representative of China was the first to vote in favour. With the intervention of the United Nations, Indonesia began to compromise slowly to make East Timor independent, but it was still inconclusive.

It was not until1June 65438+June 65438+1October that Indonesia agreed that East Timor would vote to decide whether to leave Indonesia. The result of this referendum was that 78.5% people agreed to East Timor's independence, but it was not until 65438+ 10 that Indonesia agreed to East Timor's secession from Indonesia. Finally, in 2002, East Timor officially became an independent country, the first independent country in this century, and the first country to establish diplomatic relations after East Timor's independence.

Today's East Timor has received an olive branch from the world powers. There is a simple reason. First of all, East Timor is rich in oil. Second, its geographical location is very important. Japan attaches great importance to East Timor, but East Timor ignores Japan. The hatred of East Timor in those years has not been forgotten. At the beginning of East Timor's independence, Japan offered to lend 5 billion yen to East Timor to establish a country, but East Timor resolutely refused.

Today, China people are everywhere in Timor-Leste. We helped them build railways, highways and high-rise buildings, and China gave them great help.

East Timor is not in Japan's interest. During the Wenchuan earthquake in China, Timor-Leste donated $500,000 to the disaster area to thank China for his help. Don't think this is a small sum of money, because East Timor is not rich. This is the first foreign aid since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which shows the importance it attaches to China.
