Why don't refugees go to Asian countries and go to Europe?

Why refugees go to Europe instead of Asian countries is determined by many factors:

The refugees who fled to Europe mainly came from the Middle East and North Africa, among which Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq were the most. Looking around these disaster-prone areas, Europe can be said to be the nearest "paradise". Naturally, I will go to Europe instead of Asia, and no one will go further and further.

In fact, geographically speaking, the first choice for most refugees is not Europe, but their neighbors. According to statistics, since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict, its neighbor Lebanon has accepted about 6,543.8+0.2 million Syrian refugees, while the total population of Lebanon is 4.5 million, and the ratio of refugees to local civilians is close to 654.38+0: 4. Turkey, which is also a neighbor of Syria, is not easy. As early as last year, the Turkish government took measures to deploy riot troops at the border, and even let soldiers use water cannons to stop refugees from entering the country. Lebanon has also implemented a new entry policy. Syrians who originally only needed to show their identity cards were required to enter the country for the first time, which greatly restricted the inflow of refugees.

The overwhelming burden and policy restrictions of neighboring countries have forced refugees to look to nearby Europe. As long as you cross the Mediterranean to Italy, or land in Greece, and take the "golden route" of illegal immigrants, you can go to journey to the south and go deep into Europe.

Interestingly, the countries of origin of these refugees also include a few backward southern European countries, such as Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the people of these countries, developed countries such as Northern Europe and Western Europe are better destinations.

For all refugees, Europe where developed countries gather is a paradise in their hearts, far away from poverty, war and political dictatorship.

As one of the richest and most peaceful regions in the world, EU member states have always believed that they have the responsibility to protect the persecuted. According to the United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees, all countries have the humanitarian obligation to accept refugees, and Europe with a humanitarian tradition has always been a firm executor.

After World War II, the Iron Curtain of the Cold War was formed, and some illegal immigrants from Eastern Europe and other socialist countries flooded into Europe. Under the cold war mentality at that time, Europeans regarded these immigrants as "political refugees" and thought that they came to Europe because they could not stand "dictatorship" and longed for "freedom and democracy", so they gave them a great warm welcome. These "political refugees" not only gave Europe a sense of democracy and humanitarianism, but also promoted post-war economic reconstruction.

Compared with poor and backward countries or countries whose economies have been destroyed by war, Europe has better job opportunities and economic income, and the welfare given to refugees is also very attractive. For example, refugees in France can get a weekly living allowance of 56.62 euros, while the treatment in Germany, Sweden and Britain is 35.2 1, 36.84 and 36.95 euros, which is undoubtedly fatal to the displaced refugees at present.

On the other hand, the Schengen agreement signed by some European countries is a good asylum policy condition for refugees.

The Schengen Agreement was originally formulated to facilitate internal personnel exchanges and goods circulation, promote European integration, and cancel the internal borders of Europe, but it also facilitated the flow of refugees in the Schengen area. According to the agreement, after obtaining a visa from any agreement country, the applicant can travel freely in all Schengen countries within the validity period, and at the same time open the border to the other side, and no longer conduct border inspections on citizens of the agreement country. At present, the Schengen area has included 26 European countries.

For refugees, this means that once they successfully obtain a visa from any Schengen country, they can travel freely in the "Schengen area" and find a suitable shelter in a wider range. For example, after arriving in Hungary at the Schengen border, refugees can continue northward through the approval of the local government and freely enter other 25 European countries. Although the agreement stipulates that refugees must register when they arrive in every country, it is not difficult to escape control in Schengen.
