Over 500 Chinese nationals to evacuate from war-torn Yemen

Foreign Minister Wang Yi confirmed on Sunday that China has begun preparations for evacuating more than 500 Chinese nationals from war-torn Yemen.

Wang made the comment while attending the annual Boao Forum for Asia conference in Hainan province. He said all Chinese nationals will soon be safely on their way home.

More than 200 staff members from the United Nations, foreign embassies and other organizations were evacuated by air after a third night of heavy airstrikes on Saturday. Pakistan said it was preparing to evacuate its citizens and diplomatic staff, according to AFP.

As early as February, both the United States and the United Kingdom had shut down their embassies in Yemen.

Wang said China has already launched a contingency plan to protect Chinese nationals.

According to a notice posted on Friday by the China Shipowners' Association, the Chinese People's Liberation Army navy was to temporarily suspend its escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters.

The notice also stated that it is unclear when the mission would be resumed, and it urged shipowners to take precautions against possible pirate attacks.

It was the first time the fleet had suspended escort missions since China sent its first fleet to the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters in December 2008.

Zhang Junshe, a senior researcher at the PLA Naval Military Studies Research Institute, said, "We have to wait for confirmation from the navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see if the fleet was dispatched to evacuate Chinese nationals in Yemen. One thing for sure is that the suspension will be a temporary one and it won't last long."

Tian Qi, the Chinese ambassador to Yemen, said on Thursday that no Chinese nationals were known to have been killed or injured.

Good on you, China. You not only take care of your own citizens but also workers of your companies.

This is certainly a good advertisement to work for Chinese companies overseas.

Terrible lessons from those anti-Chinese riots in 20th century in SE Asia.

I think the most successful so far was in Libya, thousands of Chinese.

Libya, 2011
Compared to other countries, China did quite efficiently.

I think if there is enough "room", they can also help those whose countries can not support them.

And when China evacuated 36,000 citizens from Libya, some adjacent countries helped a lot and so did a lot of oversea Chinese in Greece. I watched a documentary about oversea Chinese in 2011 Libya evacuation, they assisted a lot, like booking hotels, organising shuttle buses, providing food, etc.

Yemen evacuation shows China’s humane spirit reachesworld
April 01, 2015


China has evacuated hundreds of its nationals from war-torn Yemen by Monday, demonstrating responsibility and care toward its citizens.

In the era of globalization, coupled with China's increasing presence worldwide, more Chinese nationals are living and working overseas.

Before the evacuation, there were about 620 Chinese living in Yemen, including a team of 58 medical professionals providing aid and hundreds of Chinese working there in such industries as oil drilling, road and bridge construction, telecommunication and fisheries,who had extended precious help and contributed to the development of the Middle East country despite growing violence.

However, the safety of the Chinese citizens in Yemen has affected the feelings of all Chinese at home, especially when fighting and air strikes are increasing across Yemen and dialogue remains distant.

Therefore, China temporarily halted its participation in multinational patrols in the Gulf of Aden aimed at countering Somali pirates, and directed its naval fleet to rescue the stranded Chinese nationals.

Government-led overseas evacuations have become a regular event as the present international situation remains tense and turbulent. China has launched a series of massive overseas evacuations of its citizens from countries including Libya, Vietnam, Iraq, and Egypt over the past few years.

In June 2010, a total of 1,299 Chinese nationals were airlifted from riot-hit Kyrgyzstan back to Urumqi in northwest China's Xinjiang region. In February 2011, the Chinese government chartered eight flights to Egypt and brought back a total of 1,848 Chinese,including those from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as protests broke out in Egypt and the situation grew severe.

While protecting the safety of lives and property of Chinese nationals, China, advocating and implementing the humanitarian spirit, has also helped evacuate 2,100 people from 12 other countries from Libya when bloody unrest erupted there in February 2011, in its largest evacuation of overseas Chinese nationals since 1949.

China is unwilling to see heavy casualties in Yemen. It is hoped that all relevant parties in Yemen will strengthen solidarity and make joint efforts to realize national stability and development at an early date. The world looks forward to a stable Yemen and the Chinese people care about the situation and development of Yemen.

Good on you, China!

This is definitely one way to win friends and show the people of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan the advantage of belonging to one big family.

I am sure the "2,100 people from 12 other countries" evacuated from Libya would be grateful. As China is getting bigger and more capable, it should help the others who are in need.
Three cheers to China.
