The Whole World Should Follow China’s Lead By Evacuating Their Citizens From Ukraine
The People’s Republic is universally respected for its leadership’s keen foresight that’s resulted in their civilization-state’s unprecedented rise across the last several decades. If China predicts that the security situation will continue deteriorating in Ukraine to the point of necessitating its citizens’ urgent evacuation from that crumbling former Soviet Republic despite President Putin claiming on Friday that “There is no need for major strikes, at least for now”, then it’s wise for all to heed its implicit warning.
The Global Times reported on Saturday that “China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Chinese Embassy in Ukraine on Sat urge Chinese citizens in the country to enhance safety precautions and evacuate”, which is a move that should be followed by the whole world. “China Is Ukraine’s Close Friend Despite What Was Just Falsely Claimed” by a leading policymaker in Kiev last month and thus wouldn’t take this dramatic step unless it truly thought that this was in its citizens’ best interests.
Unlike the US-led West’s Golden Billion, China – which is one of the leaders of the multilaterally BRICS– & SCO-led Global South – is truly neutral in the Ukrainian Conflict and thus obviously isn’t exploiting it as a proxy war against Russia like that other New Cold War bloc is openly doing. The People’s Republic has also substantially invested in that former Soviet Republic over the past three decades since the establishment of bilateral relations so it wouldn’t urgently evacuate unless there was a good reason.
After all, Reuters reported in late February that “China leapfrogged Russia to become Ukraine’s biggest single trading partner in 2019, with overall trade totalling $18.98 billion last year, a nearly 80% jump from 2013, according to data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine.” If it’s willing to cut its losses for the indefinite future in order to ensure its citizens’ wellbeing, then everyone else would be wise to do so as well, especially since they have comparatively lesser economic stakes in staying there.
Declining to follow suit by also ordering the evacuation of their own citizens from that crumbling former Soviet Republic would purely be for political purposes to signal so-called “solidarity” with Kiev in its conflict with Russia at the expense of their people’s safety. It’s important to note that China undertook this move despite President Putin saying on Friday that “There is no need for major strikes, at least for now” following his military forces’ precision strikes across all of Ukraine last week.
Those were carried out in response to Kiev’s suicide truck bomb terrorist attack against the Crimean Bridge and accomplished their objective according to the Russian leader. Even so, China clearly believes that the security situation will continue deteriorating, most likely due to NATO’s support for its proxy’s ongoing invasion of Novorossiya, which recently reunified with its historical Russian Motherland. It’s thus reasonable to expect that Russia will resolutely respond exactly as President Putin earlier promised.
With this in mind, failing to call for the evacuation of one’s citizens from Ukraine would be a dereliction of their government’s duty to the same people who they’re supposed to represent and whose interests they’re supposed to ensure. China would never put its citizens in danger, hence why it called on them to urgently evacuate, while Kiev’s patrons from the Golden Billion have yet to follow suit and might never do so due to their purely political calculations that are recklessly endangering their people’s lives.
The People’s Republic is universally respected for its leadership’s keen foresight that’s resulted in their civilization-state’s unprecedented rise across the last several decades. If China predicts that the security situation will continue deteriorating in Ukraine to the point of necessitating its citizens’ urgent evacuation from that crumbling former Soviet Republic despite President Putin claiming on Friday that “There is no need for major strikes, at least for now”, then it’s wise for all to heed its implicit warning.
