When you are in danger, motherland takes you home


After 12 days of all-out efforts by all parties, the Chinese government safely evacuated from Yemen 613 Chinese nationals and 279 foreign nationals from 15 countries. Such an evacuation in times of crisis has boosted the confidence of the Chinese people wherever they are in the world. The helping hand extended to other countries in evacuating their nationals in an emergency spoke volumes about China's sense of responsibility as a major country.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the lead in organizing and implementing more than 10 emergency evacuation operations for Chinese nationals overseas, and handled more than 500,000 cases in which Chinese nationals were seeking consular protection and assistance for being kidnapped or attacked, with a total of nearly one million Chinese nationals involved.
Committed to serving the people through diplomatic work, the Chinese government has earnestly put people and human life first. It has worked vigorously for the wellbeing of Chinese nationals anywhere in the world, and provided an all-weather umbrella of protection for fellow Chinese overseas.
As many netizens said, the value of a Chinese passport lies not in the number of countries you can visit visa-free, but in the fact that the motherland will always take you home when you are in danger.
