How to treat the arrest of Zambian China citizens?

On June 1 Children's Day, in Zambia, Africa, the local immigration bureau arrested and imprisoned 3 1 China citizens. After six days and five nights of intervention, all China citizens were finally released and returned to China safely. However, this incident reminds us how to ensure the safety of China citizens abroad.

Legal or not, it's just their story.

Zambia is rich in copper, and many China people go to Zambia to explore, mine and smelt copper. According to Xiao Ai, there are currently more than 600 Chinese-funded enterprises in Zambia, with a cumulative investment of more than 3.6 billion US dollars. Faced with the huge cake from China, local people have gained more employment opportunities and promoted the development of related industries. At the same time, there are always jealous criminals robbing in the name of justice, while China people are in the hometown of local people.

China people have always been famous for their due diligence and ability. These qualities are naturally good, but they are not necessarily recognized by foreigners. For example, Spain complained that China people opened restaurants in Spain, and they were insatiable from morning till night, which brought down the local Spanish restaurants. Lazy Europeans and Americans can't support hardworking people in China, not to mention the economic situation in China is not as good as that in Africa. Thus, under the umbrella of local protection, all kinds of illegal detention began. According to the description of the detained China people,

With the strengthening of China's national strength, more and more China people began to choose to go abroad to work hard, but the personal safety of China people also followed. In recent years, the news that China people were killed overseas is not uncommon. Not only in Africa, but also in Germany, German students were raped and killed, and in the United States, foreign students were shot. In modern times, our strength is not enough to cover the whole world, so overseas Chinese can only be more careful, law-abiding and make peace. However, it is not respect, but greater exploitation. In Southeast Asia, a region with the largest concentration of Chinese, there have been at least two large-scale Chinese exclusion incidents in Indonesia alone, and even the military background was involved.

But now, China's strength is not what it used to be. It is far from the original Amon under Wu Zhi. As a big country, the first thing to do is to protect the safety of overseas citizens. At present, China's overseas investment is more at the company level, relying on the protection of local armed forces. However, the arrest of citizens this time is the action of the local immigration bureau. Obviously, it is not enough to rely solely on investment in local police protection.

Undeniably, China has made continuous progress in this respect in recent years. First of all, it shows that it cruises in the Somali waters, maintains the safety of the Somali waterway and escorts ocean-going ships in China. Secondly, it protects citizens of war-torn countries. Regardless of the Libyan war or the Yemeni chaos, the China Navy is always the first to complete the task of evacuating overseas Chinese. This is mainly because the two countries are not far from the Somali waters, and the cruise navy can arrive at the first time. However, unlike the global strategy of the US military, China's naval activities are mainly concentrated off the coast of China, and the only Djiboutian base is only a supply base, so the protection for China people in Africa and Europe is still slightly insufficient.

In fact, this issue has long been discussed, that is, whether it is necessary for China to send troops to protect key overseas projects, because in the Libyan war, China's huge investment in the local area was all wasted. If necessary troops are needed to safeguard its own interests, it can not only protect infrastructure, but also enhance China's national prestige. Of course, this does not mean building military bases everywhere, but sending elite troops to key projects. Just as almost every American embassy abroad has US Marines stationed, China can follow suit.

Of course, all this is supported by national strength. For example, even in prison, citizens arrested in Zambia are in single rooms. They can take a bath and don't even need to work. This shows that with the strong support of the motherland, at least their personal safety can be preserved. Their arrest only shows that the motherland is not strong enough and needs to continue to develop.
